In Jesus’ Eyes Songtext
von Ed Bruce

In Jesus′ Eyes


He was lying on a bus bench
I thought he might be dead
so I hurried to walk by him
when he mumbled beneath his breath
almost frozen in the mornin' chill
his words were not too clear
so I leaned down to hear him
I could smell the wine and fear
as I tried to move away
I felt him grab my sleeve
and he pulled me closer to him
I know what you think of me
You just see a drunken bum
mere refuse on the street
but you can′t know what's in my heart
if the outside's all you see.
In Jesus′ eyes
I′m something special
In Jesus' eyes
I have no sin
because he died
I am forgiven
I′m white as snow
in Jesus' eyes.
Stunned and shaken by his words
I said I am not the fool
of fame and worldly fortune somehow
have missed this bright recluse
I had almost turned away
from the precious thrown my way
when a lowly beggar
or so I thought
had shown me the secret place
I bowed my head to say a prayer
and it was not too late
but when I turned back to thank the man
who had helped me find my way
oh! the bench where I had found him
was covered up with snow
why the only tracks there on the ground
were mine, I′ll never know.
In Jesus' eyes
I′m something special
In Jesus' eyes
I have no sin
because he died
I am forgiven
I'm white as snow
in Jesus′ eyes.
I′m white as snow
In Jesus' eyes.
