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
