The view is so much different
From up this high
From lofty heights I've gained on wings of my own pride
I see the world below
And suddenly
I realize they're not so different from me
And so as I come crashing
Back to the ground
I look up and see His mercy all around
Why can't I show love
The way He can?
I guess that's why He's God
And I'm a lowly man
Chorus:
So Lord, take these eyes
Teach me to see
So when I look around
I see people in need just like me
Teach me to have compassion
On the poor and weak
Teach me to love them
Just like You love me...
Just like You love me
The view is so much different
Looking through Your eyes
You can see everything from Your throne above the skies
You see the world below
And silently
You cry a tear for every wretched man like me
As I look up from my place
Here on the ground
I can clearly see Your mercy all around
Why can't I show love
The way You can?
I guess that's why You're God
And I'm a lowly man
Chorus
Bridge:
And someday I will see
Through eyes like Yours
And watch the crystal sea
As waves crash to the shores
We'll all love one another
The way You do
But until that day
Teach me to love like You
Chorus
