Give Me Your Eyes

Theology & Meaning

A prayer to see people the way Jesus sees them—with compassion rather than distraction or indifference. Reflects the Incarnation's model of seeing and moving toward the suffering and overlooked. A missional prayer for the spiritual gift of holy empathy.

Worship Leadership Tips

Works powerfully before or after a missions emphasis, a sermon on the Good Samaritan, or a justice-focused service. Invite the congregation to consider who in their neighborhood they have been walking past. Pairs with a call to local engagement.

Arrangement Tips

Piano and acoustic guitar-driven pop. The melody is strong and singable. The chorus opens up naturally with the full band. The bridge 'open my eyes' can be extended as a corporate prayer. Moderate production level is appropriate.
