I've done it all wrong
My eyes are sewn shut
There must be something you can do
But I sure don't know what...
I can't see you, God
I am blind to your glory
I can't hear you, God
Can't hear your powerful story...
These people around me
Say they know you
But they live like they don't
I can see them right through.
They act like they are worthy
Of your grace and love,
But I know that we can't be
worthy of such a gift from above.
I try not to change my perspective of you
Because these fools say they know
and have a relationship with you
But they don't let your light show...
You are a great God,
so how can you be
close to these hateful people,
as well as to me?
All of these questions
Blind my eyes
I can't see you
Through all their lies.
You are the God of glory
despite what these hypocrites say
You are nothing like them
as You sit in Heaven today!
God please open my eyes
So I can see you through
this sea of hateful people
make your love new...
Help me see you as I once did
So very long ago
Help me to cling to you with all my might
And never let you go...
God please step into the light..
