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.

Douglas L. Ace

pump up lines 4, 10, delete "that" most thats have no meaning and lessen the imapct of the line. Make the last line more powerful use more discription, remember the 5 senses. BIG HUGS Light & Love
