JJ Heller's song "I See You" is a gentle, reflective worship piece that encourages listeners to recognize God's presence in everyday life. The lyrics describe seeing God in nature, in the faces of strangers, and in acts of kindness, suggesting that every place can become sacred when one's eyes and heart are open. The song emphasizes the idea that God is visible in creation and in humanity, and that awareness of His presence brings a sense of connection and peace. It's a simple, heartfelt reminder to look for the divine in the ordinary.

I see you
The summer sun reflecting off the stream
The cardinal is shaking off its wings
Near the water
Where I wander
I see you
The leaves gently lifting in the breeze
A little girl with grass stains on her knees
Runs to her mother
Just to hug her
Every sunset is a stained glass window
Every park bench is a pew
There's a sanctuary everywhere that I go
When my eyes are open
I see you
Standing in a crowded subway train
Somehow when I look in every face
It feels like family
I'm thinking maybe
I see you
In the people who are begging for their food
And the ones who pass them by in business suits
Everybody
Has your heartbeat
Every sunset is a stained glass window
Every park bench is a pew
There's a sanctuary everywhere that I go
When my eyes are open
I see the glory of the works Your hands have made
I see the beauty in the sinner and the saint
Every sunset is a stained glass window
Every park bench is a pew
There's a sanctuary everywhere that I go
When my eyes are open
When my heart is open
I see you
I see you
