Eyes Bound Shut

Sometimes I wish I had my eyes bound shut
So I couldn't see.
So I wouldn’t think I could see.
Only God could guide me.
But sometimes I mistake my blindness for sight
And I take my own path
I find myself in a stream with so many others
That it almost feels like home, but does that make it right?
In that time - I come to realize I have failed myself
And more importantly.. failed my Lord.
I'm locked into this life, and if I can tune into his voice
How can my life Ignore his voice?
Take this space between us, and fill it up,
Fill it up with the love that I've been longing.
Hold up, I'm trippin’
Is he designed to be mine?
Was I designed to be his?
Walking blindly into the darkness
It's fraud
Because without you I'm a dead man walking.
How can I let my past feelings and situations pass me by?
Situations that keep me on the run
But through your wisdom and power I'm driving head on.
Tackling with the greatest of force.
Come one.. come all..
Come and be hypnotized by the excessive force of God.
The force will shoot through your bound eyes,
Breaking the surface of the skin
You will be rejuvenated - and start to understand what it means to see.
You have eyes... Those of a baby..
And you see things for the very first time
Experiencing life through a new set of eyes
A new guideline
See life through my Fathers eyes.
My past was giving me a task, but my Lord took me to my limits.
Take me as I am, and push me to the limits of this life.
Without you I'm a dead man walking, and I give you my all.
Use this life as I lay at your feet.
