Open My Eyes
Panam Percy Paul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free.
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit Divine!
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave notes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear.
Open my mouth and let me bear
Tidings of mercy everywhere;
(alternate: Gladly the warm truth everywhere)
Open my heart and let me prepare
Love with Thy children thus to share.
Open my mind that I may read
More of Thy love in word and deed;
What shall I fear while yet Thou dost lead?
Only for light from Thee I plead.
Open my eyes that I may see
Open my ears that I may hear
Open my heart that I may know
What the spirit of God will say

on Holy Is The Lord
Thank you to whoever put this together and made it available, may the Lord bless you. I have been looking for most of the songs as it reminds me of my early days of Christian times. I used to play the songs then and to hear it again just revive me afresh.

Very grateful for the lyrics
I think the line: "Cost we love each other" should be "Cos we love each other". Cos is the short form of Because we love each other".
Thanks for the lyrics
