| I opened my eyes after I first prayed
|
| It was a Thursday and I was just hurting in the worst way
|
| It became the first hour of the first day
|
| Of the first time in my life when everything now it first changed
|
| And I remember when ya first came, my eyes were opened wide
|
| When I cried and called on your first name
|
| In my mind I was dealing with the worst pain
|
| And every time I was feeling just the worst strain
|
| Born into sin cause that’s when the curse came
|
| My life’s a highway and I’m stuck up in the worst lane
|
| I’m going nowhere and I can’t even reverse things
|
| But you opened up my eyes when your words came
|
| Lord you opened up my eyes, my eyes are open wide
|
| Chorus
|
| My eyes are open wide (I was blind)
|
| My eyes are open wide (But now I’m free)
|
| My eyes are open wide (I was blind)
|
| My eyes are open wide (but now I see)
|
| Now sometimes life is truly hard
|
| But now that my eyes are open wide
|
| I see you for who you are
|
| You light my way as the bright shining morning star
|
| You give me the life and strength to be going far
|
| And when this world had me pulled apart
|
| You told me never give up, never give in, and keep on holding on
|
| Knowing that you got my back keeps me going on
|
| I’m focused on you while I walk the path I’m chosen on
|
| Hoping on you is exactly what keeps me going strong
|
| I’m going on through on track and rolling on
|
| Holding to you even if these things be going wrong
|
| My eyes are open wide you’re the one I focus on
|
| Chorus
|
| Now that my eyes are open wide
|
| I see you for who you are
|
| I see you for what you are
|
| Now that my eyes are open wide
|
| I see you for who you are
|
| I see you for what you are |
