lyrics
When all I saw was the black of day
My eyes knew no other way
Desperately hoping for a glimpse
Of even a color dull as gray
I heard the shuffle of Your feet
Your gentle presence called to me
Though I knew I was unworthy
I threw my cloak aside because I knew with You I'd see
I want to see the oceans blue
See the red sky give way to the moon
I want to see the shining star
Guide the broken heart back to You.
The worth of faith in a beggar's hand
Puts gold to shame in a rich man's plan
What could I say as a broken man
So these eyes could understand
Through the crowd I begged and cried calling
For my eyes to see the face that saves
"Mercy mercy" I shouted shamelessly
I laid my heart bare don't care for myself
Though I can't see what's in front of me
"Mercy" I shouted so shameless
My eyes knew no other way
Desperately hoping for a glimpse
Of even a color dull as gray
I heard the shuffle of Your feet
Your gentle presence called to me
Though I knew I was unworthy
I threw my cloak aside because I knew with You I'd see
I want to see the oceans blue
See the red sky give way to the moon
I want to see the shining star
Guide the broken heart back to You.
The worth of faith in a beggar's hand
Puts gold to shame in a rich man's plan
What could I say as a broken man
So these eyes could understand
Through the crowd I begged and cried calling
For my eyes to see the face that saves
"Mercy mercy" I shouted shamelessly
I laid my heart bare don't care for myself
Though I can't see what's in front of me
"Mercy" I shouted so shameless
