The sun warms my shoulders, the birds sing above
But I sit in the darkness away from Your love
There’s people around me – but they pass me by
Too busy with living to hear my heart’s cry

 They tell me You’re passing – I call out Your name
 It’s my desperate moment to be rid of the shame
 I say when You ask me what I want You to do
 “Won’t You open my eyes Lord – I want to see You”

There’s some who would hinder the cry of my soul
Embarrassed by weakness – I’m confined to my role
You stop what You’re doing and call out to me
One touch from the Healer and then I can see

 You’ve taken my darkness and turned it to light
 Corrected what’s wrong and made everything right
 The past doesn’t matter – and all I’ve been through
 Just serves to remind me – I want to see You

My friends and my family don’t want to believe
The hope and the mercy that I could receive
But there’s no denying the changes in me
Once bound by the darkness – but now I am free

 Lord I want to serve you whatever the cost
 A beacon of hope to a world that is lost
 Though life’s so uncertain I know You’ll be true
 And show me the Way when I need to see You

 (‘Cause) You’ve taken my darkness and turned it to light
 (You’ve) Corrected what’s wrong and made everything right
 (Now) The past doesn’t matter – and all I’ve been through
 Just serves to remind me – how I want to see You
 “Won’t You open my eyes Lord – I just want to see You”
