In Your Eyes
I was listening to my music library while working today and heard one of my favorite songs, “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel, begin to play. But the version I have is from a group of guys who attended the University of Texas at Austin. I’d known two of the members (brothers) back in my youth. Anyway, they created a Big Beat A-Capella group called Schrodinger’s Cat and even released an album back in the 90′s that included their version of “In Your Eyes”.
Long story short, one of the lyrics from the song includes the phrase:
(In your eyes)
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
(In your eyes)
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
I was reminded of all the churches that open their doors for people in the name of religion instead of welcoming them to the ultimate relationship: Jesus. Church buildings are fine; but the Church is the Bride of Christ. The Church is people following Jesus.
People are looking at you and me. They’re seeing you in all of your humanity, broken like they are, but do they also see the hope and The Light in your eyes? I hope they do.
Go ahead and listen to this amazing A-Capella version of this timeless song. Just click play below.

Killer version of that song (long-time fave of mine!) I've always wanted to do a video for this tune…maybe for a missions piece. Thanks for this post!
