[Verse 1] Deal bountifully with Your servant Let me live and keep Your word Open my eyes, let me see Wondrous things within Your law I’m a stranger on this earth Don’t hide Your commands from me My soul stays hungry for Your ways That longing stays with me [Pre-Chorus] [beat pulls back, bass stays forward] I don’t need another road I need You to show me where to go [Chorus] I’m a stranger here I’m a stranger here Your Word is home to me Your Word is home to me Open my eyes, let me see Open my eyes, let me see Wondrous things within Your law Don’t hide Your truth from me [Verse 2] You rebuke the proud who wander Who turn away from Your commands Take reproach and shame from me Keep me walking in Your way Though princes sit and speak against me I meditate on Your Word Let ’em sit, let ’em speak I meditate on Your Word [Rap Break] [beat strips to hard drums, bass and subtle low motif] [spoken rap, natural pocket, confident but restrained] Let ’em talk, let ’em speak I keep the Word in front of me Stranger here, but still I know Your commands show where to go Eyes open, heart awake I won’t move with every wave What You said, I hold it close That’s the counsel for my soul [Chorus] [full beat returns, bigger rhythmic lift] I’m a stranger here I’m a stranger here Your Word is home to me Your Word is home to me Open my eyes, let me see Open my eyes, let me see Wondrous things within Your law Don’t hide Your truth from me [Bridge] [drums and bass simplify, vocal returns fully melodic] Stranger here Still not lost You give counsel Through it all Open my eyes Keep me near Your Word is home While I’m here [Final Chorus] [strongest drum pocket, full bass, subtle go-go movement, no choir] I’m a stranger here I’m a stranger here Your Word is home to me Your Word is home to me Open my eyes, let me see Open my eyes, let me see Wondrous things within Your law Don’t hide Your truth from me [Outro] Your Word is home to me Your Word is home to me
