Through The Eyes Of A Child

It's such a never-ending story

When you contemplate the world

Of all the ways that serve to hurt our fellow man

Is the answer oh, so simple

That we've forgotten how to love?

When we wring our hands and seek to understand

Are we blinded by the force of our own needs

To solutions that should be plain for all to see

Chorus:

Through the eyes of a child there is innocence

Through the eyes of a child all is love

May the light of Jesus help us to see

All the world through their eyes

There's compassion enough for the deepest hurts

With mercy to heal every pain

And the hope for each tomorrow

When we find the grace to see

All the world through the eyes of a child

We're so full of misconceptions

Teaching prejudice and hate

As we educate our children at our knee

And yet the nature of the young heart

Is to hold out loving hands

To believe that there is good in all they see

Is the leading of a child the light we need

To bring us to the place we're meant to be

Repeat Chorus
