Songs Of Victory

He Washed My Eye With Tears

He washed my eyes with tears that I might see,

The broken heart I had was good for me;

He tore it all apart and looked inside,

He found it full of fear and foolish pride.

He swept away the things that made me blind

And then I saw the clouds were silver lined;

And now I understand 'twas best for me

He washed my eyes with tears that I might see.

He washed my eyes with tears that I might see

The glory of Himself revealed to me;

I did not know that He had wounded hands

I saw the blood He spilt upon the sands.

I saw the marks of shame and wept and cried;

He was my substitute for me He died;

And now I'm glad He came so tenderly;

And washed my eyes with tears that I might see.
