There are two guitar parts in the song, one for the left side of the
recording and one for the right side.  I put down the two separate
parts for the intro, which is the main progression of the song, but for
the rest of the song Ive left it as just one guitar because they play
pretty much the same thing.  Hope it makes sense.

Oh yeah, tune down half a step and drop low string to Db.

Verse 1:
Dadd9                   Dmaj7      Dsus                Dadd9
Sometimes his eyes were gentle and filled with laughter
G     D/F# Em7
And sometimes they cried
Dadd9                 Dmaj7   Dsus     Dadd9
Sometimes there was a fire of holy anger
G  D/F#  Em7
In Jesus' eyes

Asus                              D
But the eyes that saw hope in the hopeless
Bm                   Asus         Gmaj7
That saw through the fault to the need
A                      F#/A#          Bm    Asus
Are the same eyes that look down from heaven
Em7              G               Asus A
Into the deepest part of you and me


Chorus:
Gmaj7                    D
And his eyes are always upon us
Gmaj7                    D
His eyes never close in sleep
G   F# Em7                          A         F#/A#  Bm  Asus Gmaj7
And no matter where you go you will always be in his eyes


Verse 2:
Dadd9                     Dmaj7        Dsus           Dadd9
Sometimes his voice comes calling like rolling thunder
G   D/F#  Em7
Or like driving rain
Dadd9                      Dmaj7        Dsus           Dadd9
And sometimes his voice is quiet and we start to wonder
G     D/F#  Em7
If he knows our pain
Asus                          D
But he who spoke peace to the water
Bm                 Asus           Gmaj7
Cares more for our heart than the waves
A                       F#/A#        Bm        Asus
And the voice that once said  you're forgiven
Em7                   G        Asus A   Bsus B
Still says  you're forgiven  today,   today

KEY CHANGE EVERYBODY

Eno3             Emaj7             Esus             E
Sometimes I look above me when the stars are shining
A    E/G#  F#m
And I feel so small
Eno3                 Emaj7      Esus         E
How could the God of heaven and all creation
A    E/G#  F#m
Know I'm here at all
Bsus            B          Esus    E
But then in the silence he whispers
C#m            Bsus     A
My child I created you too
B                  G#/C        C#m   Bsus
And you're my most precious creation
F#m         A          Asus A
I even gave my Son for you
