Lyrics

A fer vent (Bb)pray’r

rose up to (F)Heav en.

A frag ile (Eb)soul el er

was los the ing (Bb)ground.

When Sort ing (E)through the earth ly (Ebm)bab ble,

Heav en heard the (Bb)sound.

This (F)was a (Bb)life

of no dis (F)tinc tion,

no suc (Eb)cess es,

on ly (Bb)tries.

Yet gaz ing (E)down on this un (Ebm6)love ly one, there was (Cm7)love

in Heav en’s eyes.

In Heav en’s eyes,

there (Dm7)are no (Eb)los ers.

In (F)Heav en’s eyes,

no (Dm7)hope less cause;

on ly (Bb)peo ple like (Eb)you

with (Bb)feel ings like (E)me,

a (Cm7)mazed by the grace we can find

in Heav en’s (Bb)eyes.

The or phaned (Bb)child,

the way ward (F)fa ther,

the home less (Eb)trav el er

was in the ing (Bb)rain.

When life goes (E)by and no one (Ebm)both ers,

Heav en feels the (Bb)pain.

This (F)Look ing (Bb)down,

God sees each (F)heart ache,

knows each (Eb)sor row,

hears each (Bb)cry.

And look ing (E)up, we’ll see com (Ebm6)pas sion’s fire, there a (Cm7)blaze

in Heav en’s eyes.

In Heav en’s eyes,

there (Dm7)are no (Eb)los ers.

In (F)Heav en’s eyes,

no (Dm7)hope less cause;

on ly (Bb)peo ple like (Eb)you

with (Bb)feel ings like (E)me,

a (Cm7)mazed by the grace we can find

in Heav en’s (Bb)eyes.

The or phaned

in Heav en’s eyes,

in Heav en’s (Eb)eyes,

in Heav en’s (Bb)eyes.
