I fall down but I somehow have the strength/to get back up and try again/and I know the answer/but so many times I try to make up/the means on my own/say it was all me/and I like to take the credit/because of my selfish pride/

I fall down face down before you/will I let you lift my spirit up again/I feel so helpless because I have rejected your strength/and I have hurt so much/I don’t know if I can hurt much more/so I am asking for you to lift me up/

When I fall down and I feel left behind/I remember that you can take the pain/and I remember that through my weakness/your strength is made great/and so many times/I try to hide my faults/and I make excuses for them/

I fall down on my face/relying on your grace/as I am on my knees pleading for my generation/please bring about a new way of living/a new knowledge of what it means to be a Christ follower/I will live the way you want/

Give me the eyes of a believer/that know the ways of the great deceiver/because I am a recipient of a grace so rich/a love so deep that/no mind can comprehend/the eye of a believer see the world differently/as I live my life/help me to see the snares of the evil one/because I know the truth/

The eyes of a believer/love the world in a deeper way/than the world has become accustomed to/when people look into my eyes/I pray that they would see your love/and in my heart may there be a flame so bright/that it shines across my face that it may radiate/and permeate everything about me/

Eyes of believers/see situations in a whole different light/and I am asking for you let me see/with my heart the lost and hurting world/I don’t want to see with my eyes/anymore I am asking for you to teach me/to see with my heart/so that you may touch the lives of others/

The eyes of the believer/have been open/but sometimes/I forget what I am looking for/I am so caught up in the things of this world/but I am asking for you to retrain my eyes/and help me focus on you/teach me to maintain my focus/and teach me to keep you in my line of vision/
