Sermon Poetry – “Give Me Eyes to See My Christ”

Oh that I was a man on the road to Emmaus
Hearing my Savior explaining the Word
How my heart would be burning, my ears would be tingling
Such beautiful grace of our glorious Lord
Lord, help me see Christ in the sacrifice
Of innocent sheep sweet and pure
Lord, help me see Christ in the prophecy
The Savior to come right and true

Oh to have understanding of all of the Scriptures
When Scriptures inform me of what Scripture says
My Savior’s the center of all Revelation
The center and purpose of life and God’s plans
Lord, make me submissive and worshipful
To sing praises of Your kind name
Your word tells of Christ and Your holy love
It tells me of Christ and the Cross

Oh that I would see Jesus in the Word God has given
In shadows and visions and prophecies true
To see Christ in Scripture, the whole of the Scriptures
The Covenant Old and the Covenant New
Lord humble this son as I say the words
I desperately need Jesus’ Love
Kind Father, I thank you for sending Christ
The Sacrificed Lamb that I love
