MY EYES WAIT |
LyricsMY EYES WAITCHORUS: I will lift up my eyes to the hills I will say to my soul be still With a heart that is yielded My eyes they wait on you, my eyes they wait on you VERSE: When I was young you said, wait here my child but I was to impatient to wait, oh yea When you said walk this way my child I chose another path. I would not obey lost my way then I cried, Lord show me the way CHORUS: I will lift up my eyes to the hills I will say to my soul be still With a heart that is yielded My eyes they wait on you, my eyes they wait on you VERSE: This time I will not run ahead This time I will not lag behind This time I will choose to obey Father you have been waiting on me Now I will wait on you, my eyes will wait on you CHORUS: I will lift up my eyes to the hills I will say to my soul be still With a heart that is yielded My eyes they wait on you, my eyes they wait on you BRIDGE: I was young and now am old This is the cry of my soul Father instruct me, teach me your way And teach my eyes to wait on you CHORUS: I will lift up my eyes to the hills I will say to my soul be still With a heart that is yielded My eyes they wait on you, my eyes they wait on you My eyes they wait on you, my eyes they wait on you |
| Short Song Description: How many times have you tried to 'help God' fix your situation by doing things your way? What needless heartache and pain we bring to ourselves when we don't walk in obedience. Let our prayer become Lord, my eyes wait on you for direction. He will direc |
| Long Song Description: This is a song that I think many can connect with because as we walk this Christian path we have to make many choices. If we are not careful we will at times fail to acknowledge God and seek to find our own path. Like the prodigal son we will wander off |
| Story Behind the Song: This song is really my testimony in a very brief way. I was young when I first accepted Christ but lost my way and wondered around in the wildness for far too many years before finding my way back to Christ. |
