About the song
I wrote this song back in 2004, in a season of my life when I was grieving a loss and desiring Him to be truly "everything to me". The chorus came as it is, as I was sitting at the piano and crying before the Lord. I wanted to be so captivated, that He would be "all my eyes can see", and that eventually inspired the verses, as i personally began to see Jesus again. His nail-pierced hands, His loving gaze... the sacrifice He made which ultimately demands my all. And I know the song will continue to reflect my journey with Him, even now, with every new step of surrender He requests.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I see the nails embedded in Your hand
I see the feet that were pierced for me
I see the sides that were bleeding at Calvary
It’s no wonder then, my heart sings for Thee

Chorus
Cos You’re everything to me
You’re all my eyes can see
So I let go of all that steals my heart
And take hold of Your hand in mine

Verse 2
I see Your eyes, consuming fire in Your gaze
I see the stripes You bore that I might be whole
I see the throne You left to come and die for me
It’s no wonder then, my heart sings for Thee
