Open My Eyes
Hillsong Live Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the stars I see Your majesty displayed
In the heavens all Your wonders are proclaimed
I see Your fame in all of the earth
And I seek to know the ways of Your heart
Through the seas and open skies I hear Your praise
As the shout of all creation lifts Your Name
And I seek to know the ways of Your heart
(Chorus)
So open my eyes oh God
Open my heart to see
All the wonders and the power of Your name
By Your grace I'll live
By Your grace I'll see
For my life and my salvation is in You
(Verse 2)
For You take the sinner's heart and bring new life
Through the cross we are restored within Your Light
I know Your love is all that i need
And I seek to know the ways of Your heart
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I know Your love is all that I need
And I seek to know the ways of Your heart

Saviour of my soul
I worship You as God alone
Greater love has made a way to You
I could not forget
The moment I in faith confessed
For my sin You died and rose again
I believe every word You say
Father God with all my heart I sing
Open my eyes
I want to see Your glory Your glory Lord
I open my heart
I want to be closer closer to You
Here I am again
I find my strength in drawing near
You have heard the desperate cry in me
And as I wait on You my God
I'll know the voice of truth
In quietness I am in awe
And as I worship You my Lord
I understand the cross
The sacrifice of God

I was about to die from an overdose in my apartment in Miami all alone after so many different drugs…I went to grab my phone and I couldn’t even see what I pressed and out of no where YouTube started and this song played. My heart was beating out of my chest and then the room turned white and I felt at peace. My heart slowed down and I survived. Jesus Christ is real people. He saved my life.
