Gord Lang - I Want to See You Lyrics

The sun warms my shoulders, the birds sing above
But I sit in the darkness away from Your love
There's people around me - but they pass me by
Too busy with living to hear my heart's cry

They tell me You're passing - I call out Your name
It's my desperate moment to be rid of the shame
I say when You ask me what I want You to do
"Won't You open my eyes Lord - I want to see You"

There's some who would hinder the cry of my soul
Embarrassed by weakness - I'm confined to my role
You stop what You're doing and call out to me
One touch from the Healer and then I can see

You've taken my darkness and turned it to light
Corrected what's wrong and made everything right
The past doesn't matter - and all I've been through
Just serves to remind me - I want to see You

My friends and my family don't want to believe
The hope and the mercy that I could receive
But there's no denying the changes in me
Once bound by the darkness - but now I am free

Lord I want to serve you whatever the cost
A beacon of hope to a world that is lost
Though life's so uncertain I know You'll be true
And show me the Way when I need to see You

('Cause) You've taken my darkness and turned it to light
(You've) Corrected what's wrong and made everything right
(Now) The past doesn't matter - and all I've been through
Just serves to remind me - how I want to see You
"Won't You open my eyes Lord - I just want to see You"
