Open the Eyes of My Heart – Michael W Smith

The thing about contemporary Christian music is that it’s hard to find information about its origen, but I will do my best here. I’m sorry I’ve been away a while.
Michael W Smith is no stranger to this site. He is one of my favourite Christian singers. I remember singing Open the Eyes of my Heart endlessly at Mornington Baptist Church in South East Melbourne. It was thrilling. When Michael sings very high and loud at 2:17When we sing Holy, Holy Holy‘ there are few more powerful moments in Christian singing than this at at least from what I’ve heard.

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see you, I want to see you
(repeat 4x)

To see you high and lifted up,
Shining in the light of your glory.
Lord, Pour out your power and love,
As we sing holy, holy, holy.

Holy, holy, holy
(you are)
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
I want to see you
(repeat)

Thanks always to wikipedia: “Open the Eyes of My Heart” is a contemporary Christian song by Paul Baloche. The lyrics are based on Ephesians 1:18, a verse from the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.
I have been listening a lot to 2 exceptional Centre Place lectures from John Hamer which seem to embrace philosophically and historically the meaning of God; namely Divine Men in Antiquity and Aquinas’ Proofs of God. I couldn’t recommend them more highly about understanding the significance of God in the historic and current era.
