A single thread in a tapestry,
though its color brightly shines,
can never see its purpose
in the pattern of the grand design.
And the stone that sits up on the very top
of the mountain's mighty face,
does it think that it's more important
than the stones that forms the base?
So how can you see what your life is worth
or where your value lies?
Ohhhh, you can never see through the eyes of man.
You must look at your life
look at your life through heaven's eyes.
Lai-la-lai...through heaven's eyes.
A lake of gold in the desert sand
is less than a cool fresh spring,
and to one lost sheep, a shepard boy
is greater than the richest king.
Should a man lose everything he owns
has he truly lost his worth?
Or is it the beginning
of a new and brighter birth?
So how do you measure the worth of a man
in wealth or strength or size,
in how much he gained or how much he gave
the answer will come.
The answer will come to him who tries
to look at his life through heaven's eyes.
Lai-la-lai...through heaven's eyes.
And that's why we share all we have with you
though there's little to be found.
When all you've got is nothing
there's lots to go around.
No life can escape being blown about
by the winds of change and chance,
and though you never know all the steps,
you must learn to join the dance.
You must learn to join the dance.

Through Heaven's Eyes

"The savior's vision is as innocent of what your brother is as it is free of any judgment made upon yourself. It sees no past in anyone at all. And thus it serves a wholly open mind, unclouded by old concepts, and prepared to look on only what the present holds. It cannot judge because it does not know. And recognizing this, it merely asks, "What is the meaning of what I behold?" Then is the answer given. And the door held open for the face of Christ to shine upon the one who asks, in innocence, to see beyond the veil of old ideas and ancient concepts held so long and dear against the vision of the Christ in you. Be vigilant against temptation, then, remembering that it is but a wish, insane and meaningless, to make yourself a thing that you are not. And think as well upon the thing that you would be instead."
ACIM Chapter 31 The Savior's Vision
