Lord, My Eyes Are Seeing

Lord

my eyes are seeing

Lord

my ears are hearing

All that You’ve been speaking

My heart’s understanding

too.

Finally

I am turning

Willing to be healed by You.

Thank You for Your waiting

Arranging everything I’d do.

Now Lord

my heart

Cries out for Your loving hand.

And Lord

Amen

I’d be touched by You.

Lord

I’ve been so hardened

Caught in worldly traffic

Drowning out Your words that

Fell upon my wayward heart.

Somehow

still You got in

Soft’ning up my tender parts.

How could I refuse You?

You bore me on Your wounded heart.

I thought I was willing

Shallowly receiving

Meanwhile I was sinning

Burying my shameful side.

But the sun exposed me

Now I can no longer hide.

Bare without Your presence

For dire help to You I fly.

Everything seemed peaceful

Till Your words intruded

Anxious thoughts arose and

Tried to choke the life away.

Lifelessly I drifted

Couldn’t tell the night from day.

Then a ray of light came

Shining through a man of clay.

Oh

the time I wasted

Trying to be better.

All along You waited

Just for me to reach my end.

Now I simply open

Trusting in my truest Friend.

Hold me by Your mercy

Bear fruit in me until the end.

Now Lord

my heart

Overflows with a praising song!

For Lord

I know

I’ve been touched by You.
