Lyrics
LIVING FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
Lyrics by Peter Merz Music by Mark E. Ellis
1. I used to want them all to see
The good deeds that I'd done
I'd pray the longest prayers,
Acting holy for everyone
I was living for the praise of men, for the praise of men
Trying to leapfrog into heaven
CH. But I had it all wrong, I had my eyes on me
When they should've been on You
'Cause you're the one who matters
The only one who matters to me now is You
Now I'm living for Your eyes only
Lord, I'm living for Your eyes only
2. How often I would hog the stage
Standing in Your light
Always led by my blind ambition
Yeah, pride with a capital "I"
I was living only for myself, yes only for myself
Didn't care about You or anyone else
REPEAT CHORUS
BR. Now everything I say and everything I do
Is for You and You alone,
Now everywhere I go I go for you
I take Your purpose as my own.
And I'm living for Your eyes only
I'm living for Your eyes only
I'm living for Your eyes only
I'm living for Your eyes only.
