about

At Steubenville, I had so many beautiful lady-friends. It was always a challenge to keep my eyes on Christ and my eyes on my vocation when I knew so many holy, beautiful women. This is my song to all of them to express how it’s better for me and for them to do God’s will than to be distracted by their beauty and loveliness.

lyrics

Everyday I look at you, and realize what I’ve missed
All those things you do, I shouldn’t have dismissed
But what else can I say, I’ve chosen the better part

And I look at you again, to see what I’m losing
That’s when I really know, I know what I’m doing
I’d gladly give it all up to see you contented
For both our greater goods is what I’ve intended
Every time I look at you.

To see you ‘round me always breaks my heart
This hole inside with what shall I fill it?
I thought I’d never bear for us to be apart
But this love I have for you is starting to bear fruit.

I see there’s something there, supernatural
And through my pain, I shall care, I shall care for you
For though you won’t be mine
I shall always love you
Every time I look at you.
