Ruby in the Making

Through Heaven's Eyes

I was too hyped when I got the Prince of Egypt Soundtrack. Don't try to act like yall didn't like this movie when yall were younger! And i was even more hype when i listened to the song Through Heaven's Eyes and understood the lyrics! :


So how can you see what your life is worth
Or where your value lies?
You can never see through the eyes of man
You must look at your life

Look at your life through heaven's eyes
Lai-la-lai...

So how do you judge what a man is worth
By what he builds or buys?
You can never see with your eyes on earth
Look through heaven's eyes
Look at your life
Look at your life
Look at your life through heaven's eyes

Growing up it is easy to fall into the trap of looking at my life with my eyes on earth. This is also why i admire the song Fall Back by Christian rapper Lecrae because he talks about all the lies & temptations of the world that try to trip you and how its up to us to stop listening to them. When I look at my life through Heaven's Eyes things become less complicated.

For example, I've always wondered why bad things happen to good people, or why bad things happen when things are going well in general. When I look through Heaven's Eyes all that matter is that I continue to be myself and the blessings will follow. The world may tell me i need to change or be this or that, but if i look through Heaven's eyes I don't need to do a thing, but continue to be faithful to my morals and the father i serve in Heaven.

Another one of my fav lyrics (i put it under my picture profile box on FB lol):

No life can escape being blown about
By the winds of change and chance
And though you never know all the steps
You must learn to join the dance
You must learn to join the dance
Lai-la-lai...

This is something my mom has been trying to teach me all my life. The unexpected may happen in your life, but this does not stop you from living nor does it seize your surroundings.This is why I must "learn to join the dance". I will never know all the facts of life, but this should not stop me from being the best i can be.

I LOVE MUSIC!!!
