What do I want for Christmas?

Ok sure, its cliche, but to us believers, the Lord is all knowing, and he knows what we want and what we need, pretty much always before we even do. This morning on the way to work I was the recipient of one of those "that is just what I needed" type of happenings.

So what happened? I flipped over to K-Love (Positive & Encouraging Radio 94.3), and a song I never really heard just started. I didn't know the artist, but as the song progressed, I just kept thinking. Yes. YES!. What a perfect gift that would be. One I've actually been to.. ah.. seeking, even praying for. What's the song?

Inspirational Song of the Day:

Brandon Heath - Give Me Your Eyes
From the album What If We

Look down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight

Touch down on the cold black top
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared

Chorus
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me you heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what's underneath
There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work, He's buying time

Chorus

I've been here a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just move and pass me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
I need a second glance
Give me a second chance
To see the way you've seen the people all along

Chorus

So what do you want for Christmas?

p.s. "Give Me Your Eyes" recently won a Grammy for Best Gospel Song of 2008, and the Album "What if we" won a 2008 Grammy for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album.
