Bebo Norman

Over the years I have spent countless hours listening to Bebo Norman's songs. His emotion is raw. His lyrics honest. His style is easy listening. I've recently downloaded some music from his newest cd and have fallen in love with the lyrics of these songs... It's time to go to I-tunes and purchase as much of his music as you can.

Could You Ever Look At Me
could you ever look at me

the way you're looking at the ocean
all wounded in your smile
but holy and unroiled
could you ever look at me


could you ever look at me
the way you're looking at the sunrise
how it settles on your face
whole and unafraid
like the light of your world


i don't know how
to chase away the fear i have inside me
i don't know where it is you go
when you drift away
when you drift away


could you ever look at me
the way you're looking at the ocean
could you give to me that smile
if only for a a while
could you ever look at me


and i don't know how
to find a way to keep you here beside me
and i don't know where it is you go
but it's beautiful to me
so beautiful to see


i hope you never look at me
the way you're looking at the ocean
'cause in the sunrise i have seen
i was never meant to be the light of your world


I Hope You See Jesus
Instead of fear, instead of blinded eyes

Instead of shame, instead of all my lies
Instead of an orphan without a name
I hope you see Jesus

Instead of anger, instead of unbelief
Instead of weakness in the heart of me
Instead of a wounded soul that sometimes loses faith
I hope you see Jesus

I hope you see Jesus
I hope you see Jesus
Standing in my place
Bearing all my shame
I hope you see Jesus

Instead of voices in a faceless crowd
Instead of prophets crying out from behind a shroud
Instead of fingers pointing out the blame
I, I hope you see Jesus

I hope you see Jesus
I hope you see Jesus
Standing in my place
Bearing all my shame
I, I hope you see Jesus

I hope you see love
I hope you see love
I hope you see love

Oh my God, when You look on us
A broken people who have turned from love
Instead of the words we throw and the wars we wage
I, I hope You forgive us, I hope you see Jesus

I hope you see Jesus
I hope you see Jesus
Standing in our place
Bearing all our shame
I hope you see Jesus

Standing in my place
Bearing all my shame
I hope you see Jesus
