I have listened to it so many times. It occurred to me I don't actually quite understand what it means. Let me show you the lyrics. It is sung by Jethro. A single thread in a tapestry Through its color brightly shine Can never see its purpose In the pattern of the grand design And the stone that sits on the very top Of the mountain's mighty face Does it think it's more important Than the stones that form the base? So how can you see what your life is worth Or where your value lies? You can never see through the eyes of man You must look at your life Look at your life through heaven's eyes Lai-la-lai... A lake of gold in the desert sand Is less than a cool fresh spring And to one lost sheep, a shepherd boy Is greater than the richest king If a man lose everything he owns Has he truly lost his worth? Or is it the beginning Of a new and brighter birth? So how do you measure the worth of a man In wealth or strength or size? In how much he gained or how much he gave? The answer will come The answer will come to him who tries To look at his life through heaven's eyes And that's why we share all we have with you Though there's little to be found When all you've got is nothing There's a lot to go around No life can escape being blown about By the winds of change and chance And though you never know all the steps You must learn to join the dance You must learn to join the dance Lai-la-lai... So how do you judge what a man is worth By what he builds or buys? You can never see with your eyes on earth Look through heaven's eyes Look at your life Look at your life Look at your life through heaven's eyes How does one look through heaven's eyes? What does your life look like if you view it from God's perspective? How does he see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the song is speaking of something or someone that cannot see the whole picture, or sees them self as someone they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 .... How does one look through heaven's eyes? What does your life look like if you view it from God's perspective? How does he see us? Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
