Give Me Your Eyes

So this is a song that I heard for the first time last year. It was one of Blake's songs that I got from his iTunes, and it became one of my favorites. I never really listened to the lyrics though, as I do with most songs. I just listen, but I don't actually listen. I don't actually process the meaning of the lyrics unless I intend to. Probably like two months ago though I was listening to this song, and it really hit me. This is me. This is my prayer. The chorus goes like this:

Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
Ones that are far beyond my reach.
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see


This is exactly what I've been praying essentially. I've based it a lot around a different song that has one part that say "Break my heart for what breaks yours." That is what really ignited my prayer towards this, and this song most certainly adds more to what I am desiring from God. I don't want to just pass by without thinking about others. Do they know God? Are they saved? Instead of asking these questions, we just walk by, maybe stare at the ground, and don't think twice. Now I'm not saying we should be asking these questions about every person we see. That's impractical. What I am saying though is that we should care about the answer to those questions for everybody we see. When we see darkness in other's lives, we shouldn't just brush it off. It should break our heart because of the fact that they don't know Jesus. What is life without Jesus? What is life without hope? They go through this everyday while we rejoice in our eternal salvation. How can we fully and truly rejoice knowing that? We can't and that is why we MUST go out and share the gospel. That is why we MUST be witnesses for GOD everywhere all the time, not just when it is easy. Not just when it's convenient. Not just when it's benefits us. ALL THE TIME.
