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.
the light
Brandon Heath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All together once again
The moon that hangs so pale, the dark that makes you choke
Comes to cover you again
Stay close you people with your broken hearts
I stand before you as a witness
Hold tight to the man that stands in front of you
The will that knows no end, the eyes that see your heart
Come to look on you once more
The word that shakes the ground, the voice that clams the sea
Stands knocking at your door
Stay close you people with your broken hearts
I stand before you as a witness
Hold tight to the man that stands in front of you
As we move toward the light
Stay close you people with your broken hearts
I stand before you as a witness
Hold tight to the man that stands in front of you
As we move toward the light
As we move toward the light
As we move toward the light
Stay close you people with your broken hearts
Brandon Heath's song "The Light" seeks to comfort those who are hurting and to provide hope to those who feel lost in darkness. The lyrics show that even in the midst of pain and confusion, one can find a way forward by clinging to the light that shines in the darkness. At the beginning of the song, there is a reference to fire and smoke, which can be seen as metaphors for hardship and suffering. But even though darkness has returned, the moon is still visible and offers a reminder that light will eventually return. The words "Stay close you people with your broken hearts" create a sense of community and solidarity for those who are struggling, offering the message that they are not alone in their grief.
The song then offers a message of hope in the form of a "man that stands in front of you," who may be seen as a symbol for hope, faith, or even a savior figure. The lyrics suggest that by holding onto this figure, one can move toward the light and away from the darkness. The final lines of the song repeat this message, emphasizing the importance of staying close to each other and to the source of hope that can guide us through difficult times.
Overall the song offers a message of hope and comfort for those who may be struggling with difficult circumstances in their lives. It emphasizes the importance of community, support, and belief in something greater than ourselves as a way to find a path forward through darkness.

Ephesians 5:1Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2And
walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for
us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5For
this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous
man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ
and of God.
6Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7Be not ye therefore partakers with them.8For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
