Inspirational Christian songs of praise/worship/encouragement/scripture in a simple, engaging, singable style.
My name is Cyndi Aarrestad, and I am a singer/songwriter, wife and mom living on a farm near a small community in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. I am married to Dennis, and together we have raised three awesome young adults. I grew up in a Christian family where singing and music were always a part of our home. Both of my parents played multiple instruments, and all of us children learned to play several as well. We often sang at seniors homes and other special events. At about age 14 I started writing songs on the piano, and later learned the guitar which is now what I often play and compose with. Many of the songs I write are simple praise choruses and childrens songs, but I have also written numerous full-length songs with a style I would describe as a combination of praise/inspirational/country gospel. I have also written and performed many songs customized for special events, such as weddings, dedications, anniversaries, family reunions, Christmas programs, funerals, etc.. I have written over 2,400 songs, and have made 11 recordings in a friends home studio, with my latest 18 recorded at my home, as well as 3 professionally recorded ones over the past 4 years. I also had one CD recorded by the CBC for their radio show Road Records after being chosen in their contest, and I had a song chosen by a Nashville company to be featured in their demo showcase, which was made available to publishers and performers throughout North America. I have had some recent international radio exposure, including having several songs on the European Country Music charts, and an internet presence on various music sites. My latest album, "Restore", is releasing May, 2025. I post new choruses and songs on: https://www.facebook.com/CyndiAarrestadsMusicPage or https://www.facebook.com/Cyndi-Aarrestad-Scripture-Songs-To-Share-435658573172003/ as well as on my soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/cyndiaar On my website, www.cyndiaarrestad.ca I have all my music available as well as a blog of inspiring quotes, scriptures and articles. I believe God has given me a gift to write music, and I am looking to share these songs, wherever He opens up an opportunity. My desire is to honor & glorify Him by sharing what He has given to hopefully encourage and edify the body of Christ. Website: www.cyndiaarrestad.ca

Story behind the song
The song was inspired at a celebration of life for a young man in our community who tragically passed away. It was triggered by the statement "I can't see you with my eyes open anymore, but I can see you with my heart", which was made by a close friend of his. It's also a reminder to cherish our loved ones, and make the most of our time together, as we don't know how much time we have.
Lyrics
See You With My Heart 1. Too soon, you were taken from us So much left undone and left unsaid How I long, once again to hold you But I'm holding on to memories instead Ch. And I can't see you, with my eyes open anymore I can't watch you, come walking through the door But I can picture, the smile upon your face When I close my eyes, I feel your embrace And I can see you, see you with my heart 2. I dream of times we spent together Precious moments I'm so thankful for How I wish, you were still here with us To share in our lives just like you did before Bri. I'll say the words I need to say, and love with all my heart 'Cause we don't know how long that we're here for We can't go back to yesterday, but the lesson that I've learned Is not to take our time for granted anymore
