Hymn and Scripture Challenge #10 - Open My Eyes, That I May See

Happy Monday, my friends!
I am back today with a quick post to share my next Scripture Challenge page! This is another beautiful favorite of mine! Here are the lyrics:

Open my eyes, that I may see glimpses of truth thou hast for me;

place in my hands the wonderful key that shall unclasp and set my free.

Silently now I wait for Thee, ready, my God, Thy will to see.

Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine!

Open my ears, that I may hear voices of truth though sendest clear;

and while the wavenotes fall on my ear, everything false will disappear.

Silently now I wait for Thee, ready, my God, Thy will to see.

Open my ears, illumine me, Spirit divine!

Open my mouth, and let me bear gladly the warm truth everywhere;

open my heart and let me prepare love with thy children this to share.

Silently now I wait for Thee, ready, my God, Thy will to see.

Open my heart, illumine me, Spirit divine!

Aren't those words beautiful? I based my page on the line that is in bold print. The Scripture verse I used is found in John 8:32. It says:

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free!"

There is a special freedom and peace that comes only from knowing the Lord!

My page is very simple...again! Yet I felt nothing else was needed...again! I wish you all a week full of blessings! :o)

For some reason I couldn't upload this lovely version of the song. I hope you will listen to it HERE.

I had already finished my page when I heard this fabulous song by Lynda Randle.
It's called I'm free, and here are the lyrics:

So long, I searched for life's meaning
enslaved by the world and my greed.
Then the door of my prison was opened by love, 
for the ransom was paid; I was free!

I'm free from the fear of tomorrow,
I'm free from the guilt of my past.
I've traded my shackles for a glorious song,
I'm free, praise the Lord, free at last!

I am free from the guilt that I carried;
from the dull empty life, I'm set free.
For when I met Jesus, He made me complete.
He forgot the foolish child I used to be.

I'm free from the fear of tomorrow, 
I'm free from the guilt of my past.
Oh! I traded my shackles for a glorious song, 
I'm free, praise the Lord, free at last!

I've traded my shackles for a glorious song!
I'm free, praise the Lord, free at last!
