[Intro]
Be good to Your children
And we will surely live
Be good to Your beloved ones
Then Your Word will be with us
[Verse]
For my soul is consumed with longing
For Your laws at every turn
You cut off the proud and haughty
In their hearts, they do not keep Your Word
Though the powers of the earth may ridicule
I will not turn my ear
I will listen to You
And I will listen to You, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
For the entry
Of Your Word
Brings light
And understanding to all
For the entry
Of Your Word
Brings light
And understanding to all
[Chorus]
So open up my eyes, that I may see
The wondrous things from Your law, from Your law
For I am a stranger in the earth
Do not hide Your commandments from me
[Verse]
For my soul is consumed with longing
For Your laws at every turn
You cut off the proud and haughty
In their hearts, they do not keep Your Word
Though the powers of the earth may ridicule
I will not turn my ear
I will listen to You (I will listen to You)
And I will listen to You, oh-oh (I will listen to You)
[Pre-Chorus]
For the entry
Of Your Word
Brings light
And understanding to all
For the entry
Of Your Word
Brings light
And understanding to all
[Chorus]
So open up my eyes, that I may see
The wondrous things from Your law, from Your law
And for I am a stranger in the earth
Do not hide Your commandments from me
So open up my eyes, that I may see
Wondrous things from Your law, from Your law
For I am a stranger in the earth
Do not hide Your commandments from me
[Bridge]
For this I know, there's no strangers in Your Kingdom
And this I know, there's no orphans in Your presence
And this I know, there's no beggars at Your table
And this I know, there's no sorrow in Your arms
And this I know, there's no strangers in Your Kingdom
And this I know, there's no orphans in Your presence
And this I know, there's no beggars at Your table
And this I know, there's no sorrow in Your arms
[Chorus]
So open up my eyes, that I may see
Wondrous things from Your law, from Your law
And for I am a stranger in the earth
Do not hide Your commandments from me
So open up my eyes, that I may see
Wondrous things from Your law, from Your law
For I am a stranger in the earth
Do not hide Your commandments from me
[Outro]
For the entry
Of Your Word
Brings light
And understanding to all
For the entry
Of Your Word
Brings light
And understanding to all
