You Opened My EyesBy Elton Smith, Larry Holder and Steve IsraelCCLI Number: 3540497I first wrote the music for this song, then sent it to Larry and Steve. Larry came up with the theme and started the lyrics. Steve and I pitched in to complete the lyrics. Please note that there are some single syllable words that are sung over 2 notes. Silvia Fleming included this song on her new CD, "Gratitude". Follow Silvia's banner below to visit her site and purchase her CD. It's great! - Elton, November 4, 2001 ![]() ![]() ![]()
(Verse 1)
I am amazed by the work of Your hand As the sun rises at Your command, And in the night, the stars You made Shine all around me. Yet all would be loss, had I never known The mercy and grace You have shown. Thank You Lord for the love That opened my eyes! (Chorus) You opened my eyes to see All that my life can be; All of the faith, the hope, the love That You can see in me. Gone is the dark of night Following in Your light. Thank You Lord for the love That opened my eyes! (Verse 2) Some things are veiled as we journey on, Till the day the shadows are gone. Until that day, I'll walk by faith And do as You've shown me: I'll share the love revealed in Your Word With those who are blind, who've never heard. Lord, I pray, in Your love You'll open their eyes! (Repeat Chorus) You opened my eyes to see All that my life can be; All of the faith, the hope, the love That You can see in me. Gone is the dark of night Following in Your light. Thank You Lord for the love That opened my eyes! (Ending) Thank You Lord for the love That opened my eyes! Thank You Lord for the love That opened my eyes! Copyright © 2001 by Elton Smith, Larry Holder and Steve Israel ![]() This song has been displayed 39728 times.
