Open Our Eyes Lyrics

I’ve been kneeling in the quiet
Asking heaven for a sign
Tracing worry in my breathing
Wondering if You hear my mind
Every prayer feels like a question
Every hope feels overdue
Still the light keeps breaking through
In ways I never choose

I was looking for an answer
When You were standing in the room

So open our eyes
To what You’ve already given
Teach us to see
The miracle we’re living
We were begging You for rescue
While You carried us through
Gratitude opens our eyes
And leads us back to You

I’ve been measuring tomorrow
By the weight of what I lack
Calling waiting “faithful patience”
While I’m scared to look back
But every scar is still a story
Of a love that wouldn’t leave
You’ve been faithful in the waiting
Even when I couldn’t see

I was asking You for more
When You said, “Look at what is.”

So open our eyes
To what You’ve already given
Teach us to see
The miracle we’re living
We were begging You for rescue
While You carried us through
Gratitude opens our eyes
And leads us back to You

If You never change another thing
You’ve already been enough
Every breath, every heartbeat
Is a gift I once called luck
I don’t need another promise
I don’t need another sign
I just need my eyes wide open
To the goodness in this life

Here
You are here

You were here the whole time

Open our eyes
To what You’ve already given
Open our hearts
To the grace we’re living in
We were praying for a breakthrough
While we were standing in truth
Gratitude opens our eyes
And brings us back to You

We thank You now
For what we missed
For what we have
For what this is
