I   cannot open my eyes

1) I   cannot open my eyes

But thou are ready to show

The entire world out here and more

I shy and sensitive to my ignorance stuck

Argue my point to no end

Till exasperate you smile

But Lord I love thee so

Stay, Pause a moment longer do;

I will your wish and will

Try to do

2)I   cannot open my eyes

But thou are ready to show

If only my courage

Would tide me over the fear

Of what my neighbours

Have to say

I would be half way

It’s in perhaps in these trivial nothings

That makes a common man

I too oft indulge as one

3)I   cannot open my eyes

Although you are ready to show

Will you your child not willing forgive?

Then why to me you show gloomy a look?

Teach me to thy love see

With the same perception with which you bestow

Let me smiling joyful accept

Then my work radiant

With its workmanship show

Speak silent of you with me

Then by a sunbeam I will climb to thee
