That rusty yellow school bus
Came to pick us up each day
Took my sister off to school
And dropped me at your house to play
I've seen you waving from the porch
Down that old dusty drive
And I'd run as fast as I could to your side
You taught me how to garden
And you let me help you cook
That gentle smile was always there
And on your face that special look
And you told me about jesus how he lived inside of you
You know I never doubted what you said was true
Cause I saw him in your eyes
In your love and in your laughter
It was him I recognized
I didn't know it then
But now I realize
That I saw him in your eyes
While we cleaned up in the kitchen
You'd be up in some old hymn
And then you'd open up your bible
And read to me about your friend
But more than songs and stories
It was what I saw in you
I watched the love of god as it came shining through
Yes I saw him in your eyes
In your love and in your laughter
It was him I recognized
I didn't know it then
But now I realize
That I saw him in your eyes
Oh my prayer is that someday
When my grandchildren look at me
They'll see that same reflection
Of him in his perfection
The miracle in you that I could see when
I saw him in your eyes
In your love and in your laughter
It was him I recognized
I didn't know it then
But now I realize
That I saw him in your eyes
Yes I saw him in your eyes
