open up my eyes
let me see the world like you do, through holy eyes
open up my heart to listen
to all of the noises I have forgotten, to the words I never knew
fill my mind with your thoughts, to walk in your footsteps
hold my hand, I cant do this alone
shine brightly like the sun so I know I took the right path
give me a sign to why I am here, a path to lead me to the next place
fill my mind with your love, amongst the fear and anger
let my words be few so others will not be hurt
send me through fired so I may feel a piece of what you have done for me
break me into pieces so Imay give everything to you
open my eyes to this world you have created,
lend me your eyes so I may feel compassion
let me see the hurt and the broken,
through your holy eyes
give me strength to reach out to the ones that need you,
to fight through the fear,
into humility
change my heart to see the world as you do,
please lend me your holy eyes
