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
