Oceans
Hillsong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If my heart has grown cold
There Your love will unfold
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
When I'm blind to my way
There Your Spirit will pray
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
Oceans will part nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise, glory shine
In my life Your will be done

Present suffering may pass
Lord Your mercy will last
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
And my heart will find praise
I'll delight in Your way
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand

Oceans will part nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise, glory shine
In my life Your will be done

Oceans will part, nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise, glory shown
In my life Your will be done, Your will be done
Will be done, Your will be done

As You open my eyes
To the work of Your hand
Jesus open my eyes
To the work of Your hand

Oceans will part, nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise, glory shown
In my life Your will be done

Oceans will part, nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise, glory shown
In my life Your will be done




In my life Your will be done
In my life Your will be done

I will lift you up to the 1 true living God, there's a great high priest who will look after you. Jesus is his name, nothing happens on earth or in heaven without his providential care. Jesus heal this man, show him your love. Amen.
