Give Me Your Eyes was one of the most successful Christian songs of 2008 and its success continued into 2009. The tune won the Song of the Year and Best Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song at the 2009 Dove Awards. It spent 14 weeks at #1 on Billboard's Hot Christian AC radio chart, and 27 weeks at the summit of the iTunes Christian Song Chart. Speaking with Songfacts about the song in a 2011 interview Heath said he never foresaw the song's success: "I remember the day that we wrote it, and I had a good feeling about it," he said, "Sometimes when you write, you think, yeah, I can see this working at radio, or I can see this really sticking in people's heads. But the fact that there were sermons written after it, people went on missions trips. And as far as I know, I think it's the first song in the history of my record label to go gold, as far as a single. That's way, way beyond my expectations for that song. But it's been great."
After the release of his most commercially successful song, Heath went on to produce three additional full length studio albums through Provident Label Group. Leaving Eden, released in 2011, hosted "Your Love", and the album and single received three Grammy awards. In October of 2012, Blue Mountain was released and most recently No Turning Back was circulated in 2015.
Trust You
Brandon Heath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't speak without knowing what to say
I can't love and have any hesitation
'Cause I know that you don't work that way
I can't reach without something to offer
I can't come now I am so ashamed
I can't hold out from you any longer
I'm not gonna fight you anymore
Not gonna try to lock the door
You took your life and gave me yours
There's no reason why
I shouldn't trust you with mine
It's never easy changing my direction
It's so unnatural to loosen up my grip
Are you growing weary of all my good intentions
'Cause I know that You don't work that way
Some days
This wait upon my shoulder
Is my shame
I know I should know better
'Cause you say
That I must now surrender
There's no other way
