Be Our Sight

Iíve the memory of a prisoner, in a life thatís been unbound

These memories of being lost now help me know Iím found

I remember well the precious day

When Lord Jesus taught me to pray

And I was transformed from darkness into light

And the change was made complete

As I cast myself on His mercy seat

Then desolation gave way to vibrant sight

Show us your plan and purpose, show us your mercy sweet

Show us the road before us where compassion is complete

From memories of darkness guide us to the glorious light

Where despairing cries of anguish turn to songs that fill the night.

Be our sight, be our sight, be our sight.

Now the tremors in our souls give way to pure and profound peace

Resting in your righteous refuge Where the prisoner is released

Fathomless fear gives way to faith as weíre held safe and secure

No more nightmares of our former ways, sweet dreams instead endure.

Show us your plan and purpose, show us your mercy sweet

Show us the road before us where compassion is complete

From memories of darkness guide us to the glorious light

Where despairing cries of anguish turn to songs that fill the night.

Be our sight, be our sight, be our sight.
