210. OPEN MY EYES THAT I MAY SEE
1. Open my eyes, that I may see
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!
2. Open my ears, that I may hear
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave-notes fall on my ear;
Everything false will disappear.
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my ears, illumine me,
Spirit Divine!
3. Open my mouth, and let me bear
Gladly the warm truth everywhere,
Open my heart and let me prepare,
Love with Thy children thus to share,
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my heart, illumine me,
Spirit Divine!
4. 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,
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my mind, illumine me,
Spirit Divine!
5. Open my way, that I may bring
Trophies of grace to Thee, my King;
Echoed in love Thy word shall out ring
Sweet as the note that angels sing,
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my way, illumine me,
Spirit Divine!
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
