From the recording Desert Rain
Lyrics
My brother’s blood cries out
From the ground
Take that same mud and
Put it on my face so I can face it
When my heart breaks
Let me see what’s inside
When I’m blind to those around me
Won’t you open my eyes
Open my eyes, open my eyes, open my eyes
To see your kingdom come in my life
Open my eyes, open my eyes, open my eyes
Teach me how to love right
Took a while for
Those scales to fall from my eyes
The mud was uncomfortable at first
But now I can see
When my heart breaks
Let me see what’s inside
When I’m blind to those around me
Won’t you open my eyes
Open my eyes, open my eyes, open my eyes
To see your kingdom come in my life
Open my eyes, open my eyes, open my eyes
Teach me how to love you right
Open my eyes
To love you right...
Sometimes it’s hard to see your kingdom
When all we see is misery and death
But we trust you’ll guide your people
So calm this storm and split this sea
One day every knee will bow
Not to any man or country
But in your love in love we’ll stand
Until we reach your promised land
Open my eyes
To love you right...
