Lyrics
Before His Eyes
Vs 1
Am D Am D
Heard the story of a man, who was climbing up a mountain
Am D Am D
Then he took one wrong step, begin to slide down a cliff.
C Em C Em
As he fell he grabbed a tree, as he hung there he could see
C Em Am D
His life passing on a screen, He was thinking of, all the things he’d done
1st Chorus:
C D Em
His life flashed before his eyes
C D Em
As he was hanging on that tree
C D Em
He was dieing there you see
C D Em
His life, flashed before, his eyes.
Vs 2
Many thousands years ago, Jesus climbed a mountain His own
Was He thinking of life, mother, family all the strife.
The cross drove Him to His knees, is it possible He sees
2000 years ahead, could He see you? Could He see me?
Vs 3
As she was watching from the side, As the nail drove through His hand.
Did she ask the question why? Her Son now had to die.
She could feel the pain, His life poured out like rain
Could she answer the why? For Him to die is gain, we’ll never be the same.
Bridge:
Am Em C D
Hardly for a righteous man one would even dare to die
Am Em C D
But God demonstrates His love, while we were still in sin Christ died for us
(Chorus)
Vs 4
As the soldiers raised that cross, and the earth begin to cry
The Creator of it all, was now hanging in the sky
He said Father forgive them, for they know not what they do
May this sacrifice for sin, be acceptable, let new life begin
Bridge2:
Am Em C D
For the joy set before Him He endured the cross
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus He will always show the way by Rich Ballard 6/1/03
