When Her Eyes Are On The Child



Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Steve Millikan and Ray Boltz



Theres a mother whose name is Mary

And shes traveled very far

But shes not thinking

About her journey now

Theres a baby in her arms



And when her eyes are on the child

She finds all the strength she needs

All the struggles and the trials

Just turn into perfect peace

She can even stop and smile

When her eyes are on the child



Theres a soldier whose name is Terry

And hes serving far from home

Its the first time

That hes spent Christmas

Far away and all alone



And when his eyes are on the child

He finds all the strength he needs

All the struggles and the trials

Just turn into perfect peace

He can even stop and smile

When his eyes are on the child



Theres a world of lonely people

Chasing love and chasing styles

Oh but how different their lives could be

With their eyes upon the child

And when our eyes are on the child



We find all the strength we need

All the struggles and the trails

Just turn into perfect peace

We can even stop and smile

When our eyes are on the child

We can even stop and smile

When our eyes are on the child
