Stop Searching With Your Eyes Wide Shut

God has a way of coming to you In your moments of despair God has a way of revealing things Of which you aren't even aware Stop searching with your eyes wide shut There's no reason for hostility For when you're mad you're blinded by anger And may run into a tree Blinded by hate, blinded by anger Or blinded by jealousy as well Overcome with so much ego and emotions Your head will blow up and swell Overwhelmed with ego and emotions You think you can walk on water that's Just a puddle on the ground So much ego and emotions you think You're better than anything and anyone around Searching with your eyes wide shut To petty to give God the glory And you wonder why the churches are empty Let me tell you a story Impatient is that human trait That stops a blessing in its tracks Unwilling to wait for God to come in And gift you with whatever you lack Now Abraham and Sarah two people of God Who couldn't understand That when God has a destiny for you Its not good to mess with His plans So they plotted to gain a son By some other means But then God gave Sarah a son And now she wants to preen Now blinded by jealousy and greed She sent that boy and his mother away But let me tell you that the Lord God Will have the last say And that son who was sent away Became a leader of Arab nations And the son that Sarah had Brought about eternal confrontation So be careful of the mess you start For it come back and bite you in the a** Don't rush God's plans and promises For you just do whatever He ask Now Hagar and her son went away With limited provisions But when God heard the child's thirsty cries He made a critical decision Hagar's eyes were made wide open No longer was she searching with eyes shut A well of water she finally did see No ifs, no ands and no buts So stop trying to handle life's situations All on your own Just be patient and wait for the promises That come from the Heavenly Throne For when God makes you a promise Just act like He's done it before Stop searching with eyes wide shut Just wait for God to open up doors
