Be Our Sight

I’ve the memory of a prisoner, in a life that’s been unbound
These memories of being lost now help me know I’m found
I remember well the precious day
When Lord Jesus taught me to pray
And I was transformed from darkness into light
And the change was made complete
As I cast myself on His mercy seat
Then desolation gave way to vibrant sight

Show us your plan and purpose, show us your mercy sweet
Show us the road before us where compassion is complete
From memories of darkness guide us to the glorious light
Where despairing cries of anguish turn to songs that fill the night.
Be our sight, be our sight, be our sight.

Now the tremors in our souls give way to pure and profound peace
Resting in your righteous refuge Where the prisoner is released
Fathomless fear gives way to faith as we’re held safe and secure
No more nightmares of our former ways, sweet dreams instead endure.

Show us your plan and purpose, show us your mercy sweet
Show us the road before us where compassion is complete
From memories of darkness guide us to the glorious light
Where despairing cries of anguish turn to songs that fill the night.
Be our sight, be our sight, be our sight.
