Lyrics

Father, open our eyes, that we may see
To follow Thee, oh, Lord
Grant us (Grant us)
Thy lovin' peace, oh yeah
(Thy lovin' peace, peace, peace, oh Lord)
And let all dissension cease
Let our faith each day increase, oh yeah
(Each day increase)
And Master, yeah, please, yeah, oh please
Open our eyes (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Open our eyes (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Open our eyes (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Lord, open our eyes (Ooh)
He has given us, hills and mountains
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
He has given us, oh yeah, level plains
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah)
He has given us food and clothin'
Gave us shelter from the storm and rain, oh yeah (Ah)
And all that He provided
Kept us good, good, oh yeah
From the storm and the plague
Grant us (Thy lovin' peace)
Peace, oh Lord
And let all dissension cease
Let our faith each day increase, oh yeah
(Each day increase)
And Master, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Open our eyes (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Open our eyes (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Open our eyes (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ooh, open our eyes (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Yeah, yeah, ah, Lord (Ooh)
And smile down on, on Your helpless children
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Yeah, Master, yeah-ooh
Mm, hmm-hmm, mm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Open our eyes, yeah, open our eyes, yeah
Mm, yeah, yeah
Well, won't You smile down on your helpless children?
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Smile down on Your helpless children
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Hey, Master, do You hear me?
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Say, Master, can You hear me?
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Hey, Master, yeah, hey yeah
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Smile down on all the helpless children
And starvin' children all around the land
Yeah, everybody walkin' 'round
Nobody wanna be a man
