    Story Behind the Song
    I was very busy with a number of album projects at the studio where I am an engineer and during one of the few breaks I took during this time, I sat down at the keyboard and began playing a riff that became the introduction to this song. I had been wanti ng to write a song for my wife for a number of years but never had the time to sit down and craft it.

    One of the projects I was working on at the time was a solo project for John Parker, the minister of music at First Baptist Church of Keller, Texas. He had written a number of original songs and I enjoyed his style, but most importantly, I liked his lyrics, which has always been my weak point. i asked if he would be willing to contribute on the lyrics of this song and he took my ideas and I do believe h e has crafted a truly beautiful set of lyrics.o

    Lyrics
    APPLE OF MY EYE
    For Linda and Audra

    As I walk along this road of life
    I find so much time is wasted
    Worrying about the little things
    That make our life complicated
    But in my cluttered world
    You shine your warmth and your light
    Driving away the shadows d im
    You save me from the night

    You’re the apple of my eye
    The joy of my heart
    The love of my life
    A work of art created by God’s own hand
    Crafted so carefully
    You were woven from the start
    In the image of the Father’s love
    How beautiful you are
    You’re t he apple of my eye

    As I think about what God has done
    I see all the grace He’s given
    He sacrificed His only Son
    So we might be forgiven
    And when I drift away
    From Him, and my feet start to roam
    God gently guides my wandering heart
    And brings me safely h ome

    We’re the apple of His eye
    The joy of His heart
    The love of His life
    A work of art created by His own hand
    Crafted so carefully
    We were woven from the start
    In the image of the Father’s love
    How beautiful we are
    We’re the apple of His eye

    Instrumental

    Crafted so carefully
    We were woven from the start
    In the image of the Father’s love
    In the image of the Father’s love
    How beautiful we are
    We’re the apple of His eye
