I recently saw Blindside live, and Christian explained the meaning behind this song before they played it. In the time between the release of "About a Burning Fire" and the recording of the new album, Christian made a mission trip to central Africa. While there, he met a man who was on his deathbed, dying of AIDS. I don't remember the guy's name, but he mentioned it. But any ways Christian talked to, comforted and got to know this man as he lay dying there on the bed. He said he know he had saved his soul, hence the "But I saw Jesus in your eyes."
The comforting is shown with the last ling "You're not afraid to die." Christian got the man to understand that death is not the end, only a new beginning. This song blew my mind live, it was the only time I've ever heard a slow song in this setting and the crowd didn't start to get angry that they weren't rocking out. The crowd hung on to his every word, even though noone but Christian knew the lyrics. It was amazing. Quite possibly the most amazing song off the new album
