The closing song from mass today
keeps playing in my mind and heart:
it's a prayer I need and need to make,
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,
open the eyes of my heart:
I want to see you...
I want to see you more clearly
in the lives of the people I know and love...
I want to see you coming towards me
in folks I've not yet met...
I want to see you in the people
I too often miss or ignore,
sometimes on purpose...
I want to find and love you
in people whose ways and beliefs
anger and confuse me....I want to see you in people,
places, circumstances and situations
where I never expected to find you...
Open the eyes of my heart
and surprise me, Lord:
I want to see you all the time,
in everyone and in every place...
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,
open the eyes of my heart:
I want to see you...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me as I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,
open the eyes of my heart:
I want to see you, I want to see you.
To see you high and lifted up,
shining in the light of your glory.
Pour out your pow'r and love,
as we sing, "Holy, Holy, Holy."
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,
open the eyes of my heart:
I want to see you, I want to see you.
