In days gone by, you felt so sure.
Now your dreams of joy and peace, faded memories.
Once you hungered for His Word,
He seemed so near.
Now the distance seems to grow with every heartbeat.
Somehow you fear you've gone too far,
No reason to try.
But He's there with you where you are,
Open your eyes.
You'll see a man acquainted with your sorrows.
You'll see His eyes sharing in your tears.
You'll see His arms never lost their hold on you.
Lift your eyes, you'll see the Lord.
His grace is yours, His mercy flows.
The river of His love is never ending.
Jesus knows you by name, He holds your heart.
You never leave His sight, open your eyes.
You'll see a man acquainted with your sorrows.
You'll see His eyes sharing in your tears.
You'll see His arms never lost their hold on you.
Lift your eyes, you'll see the Lord.
He knows your weakness disappoints you.
He knows we're vessels made of clay.
But He'll never leave,
Let your heart believe you're secure,
Safe in His hands.
You'll see a man acquainted with your sorrows.
You'll see His eyes sharing in your tears.
You'll see His arms never lost their hold on you.
Lift your eyes, you'll see the Lord.
