    This newly remastered version of Ryan’s breakthrough 2008 album Letters From North of Town features enhanced sonic quality, along with a brand-new cover design and artwork. Several of Ryan’s most cherished and well-known songs are all here; “Chasing Heaven”, “Always Have The Moon”, “In My Eyes”, “Rain Down”, and the title track.
    From the original notes…
    Acoustic-driven, electric-tinged, singer-songwriter in the style of Fogelberg, Steven Curtis Chapman and the Eagles. Songs about the journey of life and God's gifts to us.

    Letters From North of Town is a travelogue/prayer journal set to music. Songs about traveling, praying, living, and searching for God and finding Him in some of the most unexpected of places! :)

    From the country-rock of "Chasing Heaven" and Gospel/R&B-tinged "Rain Down" to the quiet solace of "In My Eyes", these songs are a reflection of God's love and patience. These songs are from some of those times, struggling, searching, and finding Him. I hope that they inspire and uplift you.

lyrics

In My Eyes - Ryan Sheeler

VERSE 1
I’ve watched you grow, my child
Through all the years of joy
I was right there with you
When it was all so wonderful and new

Those first steps you’d take
And soon you’d have to fall
I was there to help you stand
It was me who held your hand

VERSE 2
I know about your sorrow
and shared the pain you kept
hidden all these years
inside of your unspoken tears

I have waited here
I’ve wanted you to know
By my hand the earth was made
So my child, don’t be afraid

CHORUS
In my eyes, you were always loved
I’d leave my flock just to run to you

Lay my word inside your heart
Then you’ll know it’s true

That in the end, I am waiting here for you

VERSE 3
I long to be close to you
In the quiet place
Where you wouldn’t tell me
How badly your heart wanted to be free

I gave a choice to you
Before you were even born
To show my fullest love
I sent this sign from up above

BRIDGE - INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE 4
I know how far you’ve strayed
There is still a way back home
This is my only Son
My Word, My Love, the Chosen One

When you see the farthest star
And look deep inside your heart
I am and will always be
I know some day you’ll see (that…)
