Open Eyes Lyrics

[Intro/Chorus 1]
I’m in over my head, but help is on the way
When all hell stands against us, we’ll have the victory
I’m in over my head, but help is on the way
When all hell stands against us, we’ll have the victory
We will prevail

[Verse 1]
We will prevail
I keep my eyes upon the Savior
And tear my eyes away from every worthless thing
For my eyes were made to see Your glory

[Chorus 2]
Now I am not my own, I was bought with a price
Bought with the blood of heaven’s precious King
So now I gladly give You all of my life, to manifest Your goodness in everything
Only You can set me free, only You can set me free!
So I fix my eyes upon You
Only You can set me free, only You can set me free!
You’re the One that I belong to (I belong to You)

[Verse 2]
Purify my eyes
Let wisdom be my narrow path (Purify my eyes)
And righteousness my guide (Purify my eyes)
Deliver me from youthful lust (Purify my eyes)
And fix my gaze upon my calling (Purify my eyes)
[Bridge]
The rising Son is all I see; the bright and shining One who died for me
The rising Son is all I see; the bright and shining One who died for me
The rising Son is all I see; the bright and shining One who died for me
And You demand every part of me

[Chorus 2]
Now I am not my own, I was bought with a price
Bought with the blood of heaven’s precious King
So now I gladly give You all of my life, to manifest Your goodness in everything
Only You can set me free, only You can set me free!
So I fix my eyes upon You
Only You can set me free, only You can set me free!
You’re the One that I belong to

[Chorus 1]
I’m in over my head, but help is on the way
When all hell stands against us, we’ll have the victory
I’m in over my head, but help is on the way
When all hell stands against us, we’ll have the victory

[Outro]
Darkness will not prevail
The rising Son is all I see; the bright and shining One who died for me
The rising Son is all I see; the bright and shining One who died for me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
