A hand to hold
Is often hard to see
And I cannot
Deny You’re reaching out to me
The day is gone
And still I know You’re near
And I’ve got nothing to fear
[Chorus]
But when I open my eyes
You’re the first thing I see
A vision once clouded
I feel Your presence over me
From when the sun comes up
‘Til I fall asleep at night
I know You’ll be there
When I open my eyes
Now granted
I’ve been here a time or two
I’ve learned, I’ve lived
And now I’ve learned again
I pray that I
I might become like You
I’ve got nothing to lose
[Chorus]
Your love is like the ocean
It never stops rolling in
You are my world
I can’t survive without You
With You it’s all surrender
In that I find such peace
Tell me this is no dream, yeah
When I open my eyes
Oh Lord, I feel Your presence over me
From when the sun comes up
‘Til I fall asleep at night
I know You’ll be there
I know that You’ll be there
[Chorus]
