Eyes Open

Perspective changes everything
To see things from the other side
To see things in a new light
To walk a mile in someone else's shoes

Friendship changes Perspective
You would do anything for your best friend
You would dart in front of a bullet for her
Take all the hurts and pains
You would go the extra mile so she doesn't have to
You would take her place without a second thought

Jesus changes friendship
He shows you how to love
He, after all is love
He shows you what it means to sacrifice
He shows you what it means to take a friend's place
He was the ultimate sacrifice
He died on a cross
To save me
To take my place
To die so that I didn't have to
To take all my hurts and pains away
He went the extra mile so I didn't have to
He took my place and never thought twice
He changed my perspective

Jesus
I look at you
My eyes now open
I thank you for your sacrifice
I thank you for your love
I thank you for your friendship
I thank you for being the final, perfect sacrifice
I thank you for changing my perspective
I thank you for showing me love
I thank you for being you
I thank you for showing me how to be me
