I opened my eyes after I first prayed It was a Thursday and I was just hurting in the worst way It became the first hour of the first day Of the first time in my life when everything now it first changed And I remember when ya first came, my eyes were opened wide When I cried and called on your first name In my mind I was dealing with the worst pain And every time I was feeling just the worst strain Born into sin cause that's when the curse came My life's a highway and I'm stuck up in the worst lane I'm going nowhere and I can't even reverse things But you opened up my eyes when your words came Lord you opened up my eyes, my eyes are open wide Chorus My eyes are open wide (I was blind) My eyes are open wide (But now I'm free) My eyes are open wide (I was blind) My eyes are open wide (but now I see) Now sometimes life is truly hard But now that my eyes are open wide I see you for who you are You light my way as the bright shining morning star You give me the life and strength to be going far And when this world had me pulled apart You told me never give up, never give in, and keep on holding on Knowing that you got my back keeps me going on I'm focused on you while I walk the path I'm chosen on Hoping on you is exactly what keeps me going strong I'm going on through on track and rolling on Holding to you even if these things be going wrong My eyes are open wide you're the one I focus on Chorus Now that my eyes are open wide I see you for who you are I see you for what you are Now that my eyes are open wide I see you for who you are I see you for what you are
