Hillsong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of “Oceans” by Hillsong convey a powerful message about surrendering our will to God and fully trusting Him. The song suggests that when we feel lost and uncertain, we should open our eyes to the work of God’s hand and let His love and mercy guide us. The first verse affirms that if our hearts grow cold, God will unfold His love, and if we are blind to our way, His Spirit will pray for us. In this sense, the lyrics suggest that God is always present and working in our lives, even in our moments of doubt or confusion.
The second verse speaks of present suffering, but it also emphasizes the lasting nature of God’s mercy. Even in difficult times, the song suggests that God’s love will give us hope and that we should delight in His way. Here, the lyrics convey the idea that our focus should be on pleasing God and doing His will, even when we face challenges.
The chorus repeats the phrase “oceans will part, nations come at the whisper of Your call.” This repetition emphasizes the power and authority of God, suggesting that He has the power to perform miraculous acts and that we should acknowledge and respect His sovereignty. The chorus also speaks of hope and glory shining, which suggests that when we put our faith in God, we will experience His blessings and will ultimately fulfill His will.
