his eyes
steven curtis chapman
capo 1
intro :
C G/B Am G F Em Dm7
verse 1 :
C G/B Am G
sometimes his eyes are gentle and filled with laughter
F Em Dm7
and sometimes they cry
C G/B Am G
sometimes there was a fire of holy anger
F Em Dm7
in je – sus eyes
G C G/B
but the eyes that saw hope in the hopeless
Am G F
that saw through the fault to the need
G E/G# Am Am/G
are the same eyes that look down from heaven
Dm7 F Gsus – G
into the deepest part of you and me
chorus :
F C
and his eyes are always upon us
F C
his eyes never close in sleep
Am Dm7
and no matter where you go
G E/G# Am Am/G F
you will always be in his eyes
C
in his eyes
[ repeat intro ]
verse 2 :
C G/B Am G
sometimes his voice comes calling , like rolling thunder
F Em Dm7
or like driv – ing rain
C G/B Am G
and sometimes his voice is quiet , and we start to wonder
F Em Dm7
if he knows our name
G C G/B
but he who spoke peace to the water
Am G F
cares more for our hearts than the waves
G E/G# Am Am/G
and the voice that once said youre forgiven
Dm7 F Gsus – G Asus – A
still says youre forgiven today , today
verse 3 : ( key change up one whole step to D )
D A/C# Bm A
sometimes i look above me when stars are shining
G D/F# Em
and i feel so small
D A/C# Bm A
how could the god of heaven and all creation
G D/F# Em
know im here at all
Asus A D Bm A G
but then in the silence , he whispers , my child i created you too
A A#dim7 Bm A
and youre my most precious creation
Em G Gsus – G
i even gave my son for you
chorus 2 : ( key change back down one whole step to C )
F C
and his eyes are always upon you
F C
his eyes never close in sleep
Am Dm7
and no matter where you go
G E/G# Am Am/G F Em
you will always be in his eyes
Dm7
no matter where you go
G C G/B Am G F Em Dm7
you will always be in his eyes
coda :
C G/B
sometimes his eyes were gentle
Am C
and filled with laughter
