Story Behind The Song
This song is really my testimony in a very brief way. I was young when I first accepted Christ but lost my way and wondered around in the wildness for far too many years before finding my way back to Christ.
Song Description
This is a song that I think many can connect with because as we walk this Christian path we have to make many choices. If we are not careful we will at times fail to acknowledge God and seek to find our own path. Like the prodigal son we will wander off

Lyrics
MY EYES WAIT
CHORUS: I will lift up my eyes to the hills
I will say to my soul be still
With a heart that is yielded
My eyes they wait on you, my eyes they wait on you
VERSE: When I was young you said, wait here my child
but I was to impatient to wait, oh yea
When you said walk this way my child
I chose another path. I would not obey
lost my way then I cried, Lord show me the way
CHORUS: I will lift up my eyes to the hills
I will say to my soul be still
With a heart that is yielded
My eyes they wait on you, my eyes they wait on you
VERSE: This time I will not run ahead
This time I will not lag behind
This time I will choose to obey
Father you have been waiting on me
Now I will wait on you, my eyes will wait on you
CHORUS: I will lift up my eyes to the hills
I will say to my soul be still
With a heart that is yielded
My eyes they wait on you, my eyes they wait on you
BRIDGE: I was young and now am old
This is the cry of my soul
Father instruct me, teach me your way
And teach my eyes to wait on you
CHORUS: I will lift up my eyes to the hills
I will say to my soul be still
With a heart that is yielded
My eyes they wait on you, my eyes they wait on you
My eyes they wait on you, my eyes they wait on you
