Analysis of New Love's Eyes
On the saddest day of my life
Time stood still as grace came down
Life's problems lost much of their pain
Shades of gray clad new meanings,
When I looked through my new love's eyes
Once I knew my loss and shame
But a new beginning had come my way
Sorrow's songs have gone their way
Joyous colors now fill my sight,
When I'm seeing through my new love's eyes
Slight from other had caused me pain
Grief born from this world of disdain
The things I did were all in vein
Now forgiveness reigns in my soul
When seen through my new love's eyes
Death has lost its hold on me
Peace and joy have set me free
I love the Father, Son And Ghost
Thank you Jesus for giving me life
For giving me, my new love's eyes.
