Trip Lee, J.R. - Eyes Open lyrics

Good evening brethren
Let's go a special direction look back
Let's meet a young'n that was born in 87
His parents was so happy
Rejoicing at they new blessing
He breathes life
At the same time death without a question
His parents gazed in his eyes
Adoring him as he hollers
He got his eyes from his mama
He got his nose from his father
Its crazy how this baby
Is so precious but I'm saddened
He got his name from grandfather
His depravity from Adam
That's how it goes and hey look as he grows
You can see he's so blind
His eyes seem as they closed
He's so weak and it shows
He can't keep from what He knows is wrong
He knows it's bad but dag he wants it though
And all throughout his years
He looks good to his peers and his parents
And his self but if we could only peer
On the inside
We'd see that from the start it was dark
Until a Savior stepped in and
Gave Him a new heart, eyes opened!

I know I once was blind
Oh Lord but now I see
You sent your Son from above
To come and rescue me
He's the light of the world
Maker of you and me
His Spirit shines so bright for
All of us to see now that my vision's clear
Oh Lord we sing your praise
And pray that those in the world
Would turn and seek your face
Father we thank you for eyes to see so
We can know you and love you forever
So that we can love you forever
So that we can love you forever

Yeah I was blinded in the past
Like my mind was in the trash
Incapable of doing good or even
Finding him the task
Was beyond what I could grasp
My righteousness is rags
So He had to do all the work
By His design you do the math
The math, who get's the glory
Hey who get's the praise?
Predestined, I was elected
Resurrected from the grave
Plus His loved was never based on
My past or present state
On anything that I obtained I was
A mess but blessed with grace
By grace, I'm in love with Him
He gave me something within
He doesn't love me cause of me nope
He loves me because of Him
No He didn't have to save and
Raise me when I was dead
But He dragged me out the morgue
Now the praise of His name is spread
He died for all He would save
It's crazy the Savior bled
Erasing taking my dread
And gave me some grace instead
The kind I wouldn't resist
I came praise be to Him
And I'm confident if I'm in Him Ima make
It to the end with eyes open

I know I once was blind
Oh Lord but now I see
You sent your Son from above
To come and rescue me
He's the light of the world
Maker of you and me
His Spirit shines so bright for
All of us to see now that my vision's clear
Oh Lord we sing your praise
And pray that those in the world
Would turn and seek your face
Father we thank you for eyes to see so
We can know you and love you forever

Now that my eyes is open
Gotta keep that Bible open
Not just so that I can quote Him
I'm hopin that I'll behold Him
Until I lay in the grave
I'm praying I'll stay in motion
Gazing with eyes of faith He gave me baby
I'm focused i'm praying all through my 20's
I'll see Him in 20 20
Looking at Him till I look like
Him almost like His twin He's so merciful
His Word is so packed I'm telling many
About the glory of Christ
Tryna rep Him with all that's in me

I know I once was blind
Oh Lord but now I see
You sent your Son from above
To come and rescue me
He's the light of the world
Maker of you and me
His Spirit shines so bright for
All of us to see now that my vision's clear
Oh Lord we sing your praise
And pray that those in the world
Would turn and seek your face
Father we thank you for eyes to see so
We can know you and love you forever
So that we can love you forever
So that we can love you forever
