Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is “Mind’s Eye” from their 1995 album Jesus Freak. This song is track #12 of 13 and is the closing song on the record (the last track being an interlude).
Mind’s Eye is a great tune that deals with faith, and likens belief in God to the way the wind works. You can see the effects of the wind, but you can’t actually see the wind. As with God, you can see the effects of God in people and the way Christ transforms lives, but the mystery is in the fact that you don’t physically see God. I absolutely love this song, it has a very smooth sound to it and I love the instrumentation.
Mind’s Eye DC Talk Song Lyrics
You know what I’m going through
I know that it’s true
Cause you’ve stood in my shoes
Desire’s inside of me
But, it’s hard to believe
In what you cannot see
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
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
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
We can ride the storm
Endure the pain
You comfort me in my hurricane
And I’ll never be alone again
Can you catch the wind?
Can you see the breeze?
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
And I believe that we eternally live
Faith is the evidence of things unseen
People tell me that You’re just a dream
But they don’t know you the way that I do
You’re the one I live to pursue

About DC Talk Month
March 2013 is dedicated to the Christian rock pioneers DC Talk, arguably my favorite Christian CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) rock band and follows January 2013 which was Demon Hunter Month and February 2013 which was Becoming the Archetype Month. March will feature songs from most of dc Talk’s discography (1992’s Free At Last, 1995’s Jesus Freak, 1998’s Supernatural and 2000’s Intermission) featured daily throughout the month, one a day. Whether you like rock/alternative/hip-hop music, believe in God or not, check these songs out as you may be pleasantly surprised and hopefully you will discover some new-to-your-ears music to enjoy. DC Talk features lots of variety in their tunes, from hard rock to hip-hop to slow ballads that will pull on your heartstrings to singable power pop, so there will most certainly be something you’ll like.
