Open

Lord, change me from what I am; open my heart to your voice.
Show me your wondrous ways that no one can imagine or comprehend.
Fill me with the joy of your presence, the amazing miracle of your infinite love.

For who am I without you? You knew me before I was born.
You chose me, destined me to be one of Your own before I ever knew You.
By your grace I see you and live, a dead man made alive again through your mercy.

Your strong arms carry me when I fall, support me when I stumble.
I am a child, weak and helpless without my Father's strength and protection.
Though I be assaulted on every side, your hand holds me up, supports my frail self.

Who but you could know me so well?
Who but you could give me the peace I so long for?

Open my eyes, Lord, and help me to see.
