Ivan Parker Lyrics
"If You Could See Yourself"

Sometimes I dont love myself
And sometimes I dont understand
When I look into the mirror
All I see is an unworthy man
Unworthy of the blessings that flow from heaven above
Jesus softly whispers to my heart
Whenever I feel unloved

He says "Child if you could see yourself through my eyes
you would see how much you are loved
you would see I carried a cross for you
my child if you could see these scars in my hands
maybe you would understand
the reason that I gave my life
if you could only see yourself through my eyes."

Sometimes you feel so burden down and your back is to the wall
There's nothing else that you can do
So on Jesus' name you call
When that prayer breaks through heavens floor
He can carry those burdens away
If Jesus stood before you right now
I believe this is what He would say

He'd say, "Child if you could see yourself through my eyes
you would see how much you are loved
you would see I carried a cross for you
my child if you could see these scars in my hands
maybe you would understand
the reason that I gave my life
if you could only see yourself through my eyes."

When prayer breaks through heavens floor
He carries my burdens away
If Jesus stood before me right now
I believe this is what he'd say

(He'd say) "My child if you could see yourself through my eyes
you would see how much you are loved
you would see I carried a cross for you
my child if you could see these scars in my hands
maybe you would understand
the reason that I gave my life
if you could only see yourself through my eyes,
through my eyes,
if you could only see yourself through my eyes."
