Open My Eyes
By Susan Vaughan Shumake
Open my eyes
What do I see
Where is the life
That you promised me
I have been here
Faithful and true
Watching and waiting
For you
Trial after trial
Load after load
Life has been hard
Worse as I go
I have been here
Waiting to see
When will you come back
For me
This is the truth
Life will be hard
Life is no game
To be won by a card
All that we have
We come to by grace
What’s left to be seen is
Our faith
Do I believe
God to be true
Will my life show
My faith in you
Do others see
Your beauty in me
Will they see Jesus
In me
This is my task
My life to share
Life will be hard
But God is there
If you believe
He will come through
He has been waiting
For you
