We’re studying Psalm 23 in the class I teach (Sunday Sessions) and I was inspired to write.
Monday morning this week I penned two verses and a chorus, entitled “Eyes of Heaven.” I began with a response to Psalm 23, and also included ideas from Psalm 17. The Lord is my Shepherd, and He is watching…what an amazing truth!
I’m also reading A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by W. Phillip Keller. This book was my bedtime reading last night, and I woke up full of the knowing that I am the Lord’s. A bridge to Eyes of Heaven sung out inside me:
The question is who am I anyway?
The answer is the source of my identity:
The Maker of starry heights and rainy nights is watching me
Because I am His!
This song in 6/8 time feels like a hug that releases into a spinning dance. The music is almost finished, and already my heart sings along.
May you be hugged with the understanding of just how loved you are. Truly, the Eyes of Heaven are watching. -C.
