WONDERING EYES



When wondering eyes viewed foreign shore
Of promised land never seen before
And treasured friend with smiling face
Welcomed another one with warm embrace

When ended flight over Atlantic foam
Brought weary traveller to an Irish home
When joy in heart could not hide
As wondering eyes viewed countryside

And knew such beauty had been unseen
Until they rested there on Ireland’s green
When lips they curved in easy smile
As peace was found in an Emerald Isle

Think of what wondering eyes may see
When life’s journey ends for you and me
As we step on the foreign shore
Of Promised Land never seen before

When Jesus greets with warm embrace
And wondering eyes behold His face
Where joy in heart will never hide
As we view in awe God’s countryside

Now wondering eyes have finally seen
Where wondering eyes have never been
Until we crossed the churning foam
And our wondering eyes view Heaven’s Home
