Give me Eyes To See (A_Rose - Remix)
[Cello and violin opening] [Intro - half sung] Lord, You bring the truth with love and power, with dexterity. Your hands place everything precisely where it needs to be. Your love shines through all hate and darkness. Your patience holds us as we keep falling knowing those who will follow no matter the challenges, the tests, the trials. [Verse 1 - Double-time] I sit with a heart that never healed, a mind that lost its way. Lost the innocence too young, lost the childlike wonder so far gone. I don’t know what joy is. I cannot fathom happiness. For years I asked people, “Temporary or true?” I asked with understanding. I knew. Where did that go? Looking to God I saw wonder and hope. Sometimes I catch a glimpse feel like a small child again. Then the moment passes and the reality in front of me overwhelms my entire being. [Pre-Chorus - hushed almost whispered] The questions to God remain unanswered. So I remain stagnant. Unable to move, slowly growing. Not sure what to do, what direction to walk. I only know the path I’m on is long and dark. I get up each day, put on my shoes, and take a step forward. [Chorus - Crying out loud] Give me the hope back. The ability to free-fall into the beauty and love all around. I see it. I have touched it. I cannot feel it. I cannot understand what I cannot feel. Work on me, Lord with dexterity. Your dexterity. [Verse 2 - Speed Rap/bassline knocks 808s] There’s a physical ache that never dissipates. My heart races all the time. My breathing never slows. My mind never stops. No solace in the panic. Plagues were huge. God brought them worldwide. They were obvious. Anyone who understood our Lord knew why they came. This internal battle feels like a plague raging with no windows, no doors. The light so low I cannot walk through. So You flip tables. I’ll take another step. Each step, my heart aches more. It’s so intense. [Pre-Chorus - slowed down hushed whispered] The flight in my mind all day, every day running, retreating, terrified of the unknown. Yet I stay. Waking up each day hoping for a better outcome. Doom whispers its ugly self. Dread turned to fear. Fear became anger a thing I rarely knew, now daily. Anger into speculation, speculation into block, block back into numb. [Chorus -crying out loud] Give me the hope back. The ability to free-fall into the beauty and love all around. I see it. I have touched it. I cannot feel it. I cannot understand what I cannot feel. Work on me, Lord with dexterity. Your dexterity. [Verse 3 - Double-time Rap] This time is different. The ache won’t quit. Like layers and layers peeling slowly off but nothing gets better. I remain bitter and lost. Wasn’t there supposed to be a breakthrough? Some enlightenment? Where are the bright lights those bulbs that lit when I finally came fully to You, Lord Jesus? Can I please have peace? A settling of the unrest? Give me truth. Use Your word. You used to talk to me. Are my ears closed? Is my heart blocking Your message? I cannot see You. I always feel Your presence. What happened? Did I really fail and fall so far? [Pre-Chorus] I’m screaming to You Flip that table for me. Give me eyes to see and ears only for You. Am I going to get past this alone in the world? Alone for so long. [Chorus] I’m right here, Lord Jesus. Waiting for Your healing, Your unconditional love, Your joy to work on me. Take away the ache, the pain. Work on me, Lord with dexterity. Your dexterity. [Outro - whispered prayer] Work on me, Lord with dexterity. Your dexterity.
