If I Could Close My Eyes

If I could close my eyes and feel You right beside me

If I opened up my heart to let You in

If I never took a step without You told me

If I knew I had no unforgiven sin

Then I would know that I am Yours and Yours for ever

For I know You died to save me and take me in

To Your heart, Your Home, Your family up in Heaven

Where there is love that’s pure and holy, free from sin.

If I could reach the folk that are both lost and lonely

And spread the Word as You have asked us to

If I could hold out arms of love with such compassion

Just the way You did for me to come to You.

Then I would know that I could be Your faithful servant

And fight the fight against evil’s cruel reign

For the day is coming sooner than we realise

When Our Saviour will come to earth once again.

So I will close my eyes and feel You right beside me

Since I opened up my heart to let You in

I will never take a step without You tell me

Lord, please forgive any unforgiven sin.
