Let Me Sing

I wanna open up my eyes

And see a more beautiful world

Let the hand of God Almighty

Sweep his colors through my life

I wanna hold tight to the laughter

And ride it like a child

On the winds that billow joyful

Through the sky

I wanna open up my heart

But you know, sometimes it's hard to find

Because I've buried it beneath the selfishness

That I've hidden behind

I wanna stand my ground unshaken

But I wanna tremble when I kneel

And let my song remain unbroken

Through the tears

So let me sing for the love

Let me love for the lost

Let me lose all I have

For what I found on the cross

Let me trust you with my life

Let me live to give you praise

Lord, let me praise you

For the grace by which I'm saved

Lord, let me sing

I wanna open up Your word

And let the thirsty enter in

So they can drink deep of the water

You have given to them

I want to run the race with vigor

I want to fight the fight with strength

And let my song rise from a whisper

To a scream

I wanna open up my arms

And embrace that old rugged cross

I wanna take pride in the reason

And be humbled by the cause

And when this lisping, stamm'ring tongue

Lies silent in the grave

Then in a nobler, sweeter song,

I'll sing your praise

I'll sing your praise

So let me sing for the love

Let me love for the lost

Let me lose all I have

For what I found on the cross

Let me trust you with my life

Let me live to give you praise

Lord, let me praise you

For the grace by which I'm saved

Lord, let me sing
