Nor eye has seen, nor ear has heard
The beauty of Your Word,
Except Your Spirit draws them near
And frees them from all trace of fear,
Opens the eyes, and ears as well;
And teaches what Your Word can tell.
Though man might read and analyse,
He needs to see things through Your eyes,
Our faith in You cannot be learned,
Nor is it something that is earned;
It's something only You can give
Because without You we can't live.
This truth is something we need to know,
As we accept it, You will show
The Way that we can come to You,
Accept that Jesu's words are true,
Admit our lives are full of sin,
Repent, and ask Your Spirit in.
And as He lives within our heart,
Your truth He'll gradually impart,
Our ears He'll open and our eyes,
And born again, we realise
The precious gift, so freely given,
Rejoining us to God in Heaven.
