The View From My Window



I thank God that again and again 
He has awakened my heart  to desire him, 
I thank God that again and again 
He has awakened my heart  to see him, 
I thank God that again and again 
He has awakened my heart  to sit down to His feast 
And worship the King of Glory.

I can see 
What I might come to be
If I sacrifice who I am In my eyes
I can see 
An eternity spent in resplendent Glory
And deepest desires realized

I can see
The freedom of being set free
From the things I renounce and I leave behind
I can see
With eyes of the heart opened to me
A vision to transform my soul and my mind

Bridge
And I apprehend the unseen 
Delights of my King
Then the sacrifice I bring 
becomes a paltry offering.

Through His eyes
The view from my window is changed
Transformed into a vision of what is to be
Through His eyes
My window opens on a view so strange
Beyond all I could ever have eyes  to see
