Mind’s Eye is the penultimate track on dc Talk’s 1995 release, Jesus Freak, an album widely considered to be a defining record in Christian music history.
The song deals with Christian’s persisting faith in God, despite never actually seeing him in person. The “Mind’s Eye” symbolizes faith. This is...
[Intro]
In my mind, I can see your face
As your love pours down in a shower of grace
Some people tell me that you're just a dream
My faith is the evidence of things unseen
In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye
In my mind's eye, in my mind
[Verse 1]
You know what I'm going through
I know this is true
'cause you stood in my shoes
Desire's inside of me
But it's hard to believe
In what you cannot see
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you catch the wind?
See a breeze?
It's presence is revealed by
The leaves on a tree
An image of my faith in the unseen
[Chorus]
In my mind's eye
I see your face
You smile as you show me grace
In my mind's eye
You take my hand
We walk through foreign lands
The foreign lands of life
In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye
In my mind's eye, in my mind
[Verse 2]
In my mind I'm where I belong
As I rest in your arms
And like a child I hold on to you
In my moment of truth, yes I do
[Pre-Chorus]
We can ride the storm
Endure the pain
You comfort me in my hurricane
And I'll never be alone again
[Chorus]
In my mind's eye
I see your face
You smile as you show me grace
In my mind's eye
You take my hand
We walk through foreign lands
Yeah, In my mind's eye
I see your face
You smile as you show me grace
In my mind's eye
You take my hand
We walk the lands of life
In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye
In my mind's eye, in my mind
[Bridge]
In my mind I can see your face
Love pours down in a shower of grace
Life is a gift that you choose to give
I believe we eternally live
Faith is the evidence of things unseen
People tell me that you're just a dream
They don't know you the way that I do
You're the one I live to pursue
[Pre-Chorus: Michael Tait & Billy Graham]
Can you catch the wind?
Can you see God?
Have you ever seen Him?
I've never seen the wind
I've seen the effects of the wind
But I've never seen the wind
Can you see a breeze?
There's a mystery to it
[Chorus]
In my mind's eye
I see your face
You smile as you show me grace
In my mind's eye
You take my hand
We walk through foreign lands
In my mind's eye
Oh, Lord, I can see your face
In my mind's eye
[Outro]
(In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye)
I see you there again
(In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye)
I know you'll meet me there my friend
(In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye)
I know you're there, I can touch you there
(In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye)
I want you there, I need you there
I see you there, I know you care
And I believe, oh
And I believe in you
And I believe, oh yeah…
