HE WASHED MY EYES 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.
