[Verse 1] Good evening brethren, lets go a special direction Look back, lets meet a youngn that was born in 87 His parents was so happy, rejoicing at they new blessing He breathes life, at the same time death without a question His parents gazed in his eyes, adoring him as he hollers He got his eyes from his mama, he got his nose from his father Its crazy how this baby, is so precious but Im saddened He got his name from grandfather, his depravity from Adam Thats how it goes and hey look as he grows You can see hes so blind, his eyes seem as they closed Hes so weak and it shows, he cant keep from what He knows Is wrong, he knows its bad but dag he wants it though And all throughout his years, he looks good to his peers And his parents, and his self but if we could only peer On the inside, wed see that from the start it was dark Until a Savior stepped in and gave Him a new heart, eyes opened! [Chorus] I know I once was blind, Oh Lord but now I see You sent your Son from above to come and rescue me Hes the light of the world, maker of you and me His Spirit shines so bright for all of us to see Now that my visions clear, Oh Lord we sing your praise And pray that those in the world would turn and seek your face Father we thank you for eyes to see so we can know you and love you forever So that we can love you forever So that we can love you forever [Verse 2] Yeah I was blinded in the past, like my mind was in the trash Incapable of doing good or even finding him the task Was beyond what I could grasp, my righteousness is rags So He had to do all the work, by His design you do the math The math, who gets the glory, hey who gets the praise? Predestined, I was elected, resurrected from the grave Plus His loved was never based on my past or present state On anything that I obtained I was a mess but blessed with grace By grace, Im in love with Him He gave me something within He doesnt love me cause of me nope He loves me because of Him No He didnt have to save and raise me when I was dead But He dragged me out the morgue, now the praise of His name is spread He died for all He would save, its crazy the Savior bled Erasing taking my dread, and gave me some grace instead The kind I wouldnt resist, I came praise be to Him And Im confident if Im in Him Ima make it to the end with eyes open [Chorus] I know I once was blind, Oh Lord but now I see You sent your Son from above to come and rescue me Hes the light of the world, maker of you and me His Spirit shines so bright for all of us to see Now that my visions clear, Oh Lord we sing your praise And pray that those in the world would turn and seek your face Father we thank you for eyes to see so we can know you and love you forever [Verse 3] Now that my eyes is open, gotta keep that Bible open Not just so that I can quote Him, Im hopin that Ill behold Him Until I lay in the grave, Im praying Ill stay in motion Gazing with eyes of faith He gave me baby, Im focused Im praying all through my 20s Ill see Him in 2020 Looking at Him till I look like Him almost like His twin Hes So merciful, His Word is so packed Im telling many About the glory of Christ, tryna rep Him with all thats in me [Chorus] I know I once was blind, Oh Lord but now I see You sent your Son from above to come and rescue me Hes the light of the world, maker of you and me His Spirit shines so bright for all of us to see Now that my visions clear, Oh Lord we sing your praise And pray that those in the world would turn and seek your face Father we thank you for eyes to see so we can know you and love you forever So that we can love you forever So that we can love you forever
