OPEN MY EYES !

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

PATIENTLY LORD ~ I pray to You

Show me what You would have me do

Open my Eyes ~ to see as you

SPIRIT DIVINE !

 

OPEN my EYES ~ that I may see

The Pathway of Faith ~ You've planned for me

 

OPEN my EARS ~ that I may hear

Your guiding words fall on my ear

 

OPEN my MOUTH and let me speak

The WORD of GOD to those who seek

 

OPEN my MIND to understand

The Life of Faith ~ that You have planned

 

SILENTLY now I wait for YOU

O help me LORD to see life through

OPEN my HEART to Worship You

SPIRIT DIVINE !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN

      Lovely poem, hymn, prayer Brian.
      What is the hymn title? I thought of 'God be in my head' but that's from 1514 - very old, so I probably knew that one! My age - about 500 years old! lol.

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        THE FIRST LINE IS "Open my eyes that I may see ~ glimpses of truth thou hast for me" ~ etc The language is beautiful almost Elizabethan ~ my paraphrases tend to be Modern English ! BRIAN

          Thanks Brian. Oh I don't know it - the hymn. From 1895 I read. To an Irregular Metre, so it's difficult for me to turn it into a hymn-poem!
