Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I saw an accident this morning on the interstate
And the first thing on my mind was "running late"
I didn't stop and pray that they were safe, never thought about it after
When did I start missing the things that matter?
[Verse 2]
I saw a woman standing off exit 85
With the same old jeans and a brand new cardboard sign
And I didn't roll my window down, didn't even smile at her
When did I start missing the things that matter?
[Chorus]
Help me see the world through Your eyes
'Til what breaks Your heart is breaking mine
Slow me down, this world is moving faster
But I don't wanna miss the things that matter
[Verse 3]
I got a thousand shouting voices in my head
'Cause I've heard a million more on the internet
Father, how can I discern Your voice from all of these distractions?
When did I start missing the things that matter?
[Chorus]
Help me see the world through Your eyes
'Til what breaks Your heart is breaking mine
Slow me down, this world is moving faster
But I don't wanna miss the things that matter
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
Woah
Oh, oh, oh
Woah
[Chorus]
Help me see the world through Your eyes
'Til what breaks Your heart is breaking mine
Slow me down, this world is moving faster
But I don't wanna miss the things that matter
I don't wanna miss the things that matter
