I wanna open up my eyes   And see a more beautiful world  Let the hand of God Almighty  Sweep his colors through my life  I wanna hold tight to the laughter  And ride it like a child   On the winds that billow joyful   Through the sky    I wanna open up my heart  But you know, sometimes it's hard to find  Because I've buried it beneath the selfishness  That I've hidden behind  I wanna stand my ground unshaken  But I wanna tremble when I kneel  And let my song remain unbroken   Through the tears    So let me sing for the love  Let me love for the lost  Let me lose all I have   For what I found on the cross  Let me trust you with my life  Let me live to give you praise  Lord, let me praise you   For the grace by which I'm saved  Lord, let me sing    I wanna open up Your word  And let the thirsty enter in  So they can drink deep of the water   You have given to them  I want to run the race with vigor  I want to fight the fight with strength  And let my song rise from a whisper  To a scream    I wanna open up my arms   And embrace that old rugged cross  I wanna take pride in the reason  And be humbled by the cause  And when this lisping, stamm'ring tongue  Lies silent in the grave   Then in a nobler, sweeter song,  I'll sing your praise  I'll sing your praise    So let me sing for the love  Let me love for the lost  Let me lose all I have   For what I found on the cross  Let me trust you with my life  Let me live to give you praise  Lord, let me praise you   For the grace by which I'm saved  Lord, let me sing
