He Opened My Eyes

Oh, what it was that He did for me
He will do also for you.
He opened my eyes that I should see
the world from His point of view.

He redeemed me from my fallen state
as I beheld Him on Calvary's tree.
I accepted His sacrifice and enter life's gate  
'then I saw His plan for me !

Acknowledge His life that was selflessly given
In life even unto His death.
Accept Him now and He'll guide you to Heaven 
Forever to live in His rest.

Such a strong rendering of faith. It paints the clear picture of Jesus actions and God's love for us. Very well written. Love the flow, rhyme and content. Michael
