Lyrics
You know what I'm going through
I know this is true
Cause you stood in my shoes
Desires inside of me
It's hard to believe
In what you cannot have seen
Can you catch the wind?
See a breeze?
Its presence is revealed by the leaves on a tree
An image of my faith in the unseen
In my mind's eye
I see your patience
Smile as you show me grace
In my mind's eye
You take my hand
We walk through foreign lands
Foreign lands of love
In my mind's eye (x4)
In my mind I'm where I belong
As I rest in your arms
And like a child I hold onto you
In my moment of truth
I hold onto you
Yes I do
We can ride the storm
Into the pain
You comfort me in my hurricane
And I will never be alone again
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 love
In my mind's eye (x4)
In my mind I can see your face
Love poured down in a shower of grace
Life is a gift that you chose to give
I believe we eternally live
They don't know you like I do
You're the one I live to pursue
Can you see God? Have you ever seen him?
I've never seen the wind
I've seen the effects of the wind but never the wind
There's a mystery here
In my minds 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 love
In my mind's eye (x4)

Meaning & Inspiration
"Mind's Eye" presents faith as confidence in a God who cannot be seen directly yet is known through grace, comfort, and sustaining presence. The image of wind revealed by moving leaves gives the song a concrete way to describe belief in the unseen. Its repeated vision of a patient face and an outstretched hand frames divine love as companionship through unfamiliar places, pain, and fear.
The lyric also moves from inward reflection to confession. Resting like a child, riding through a storm, and receiving life as a gift all express dependence rather than self-reliance. The hurricane imagery does not deny suffering; it emphasizes comfort within it and the hope of never being abandoned. The spoken comparison between God and the wind closely echoes biblical language about unseen realities and the Spirit’s mysterious movement. Together, these images make the song a meditation on faith, grace, and enduring life in God’s presence.
