That rusty yellow school bus
came to pick us up each day
Took my sister off to school
And dropped me at
your house to play
I've seen you wavin'
from the porch
Down that old dusty drive
And I'd run as fast as I could
to your side
You taught me
how to garden
And you let me help you cook
That gentle smile
was always there
And on your face
that special look
And you told me about Jesus
How he lived inside of you
You know I never doubted
what you said was true
'Cause I saw him in your eyes
In your love
And in your laughter
It was him I recognized
I didn't know it then
But now I realize
That I saw him in your eyes
While we cleaned up
in the kitchen
You'd be hummin'
some old hymn
And then you'd
open up your bible
And read to me
about your friend
But more than songs
and stories
It was what I saw in you
I watched the love of God
As it came shinin' thru
Yes I saw him in your eyes
In your love
And in your laughter
It was him I recognized
I didn't know it then
But now I realize
That I saw him in your eyes
Oh my prayer is that some day
When my grand children
look at me
They'll see that same reflection
of him and his perfection
The miracle in you
that I could see
When I saw him in your eyes
In your love
And in your laughter
It was him I recognized
I didn't know it then
But now I realize
That I saw him in your eyes
Yes I saw him in your eyes
