These eyes have seen the joys yet suffered mind and
body
Though still I'll sing, “How great Thou art!”
Calm my heart and give me still peace within my very
soul
These eyes have seen the joys yet suffered mind and
body
Though still I'll sing, “How great Thou art!”
When strength turns to crippled
I've learned to silence the world and listen
Blood staining Your footprints
For surely You went before this son
Through all the chaos and noise I’ve learned
I’ve learned to silence the world and listen
Still I’m singing of how great You are
For surely you went before this son
When safeguards turn captors
The haven never been seen so clearly
My constant delivers
All the surety that He hears me
How can I repay You Lord for this all-forgiving love?
For it's the sight of Christ upon the tree that surely
Will always still and humble me
Calm my heart and give me peace within my soul
How can I repay you Lord for this bounty of love?
You will not abandon me when this body sees decay
Grace and peace has made a home in this heart that it
will stay
It will stay
For when my safeguards turn to captors
It will stay
