[Lyrics]
Open my eyes
Help me see
This act of love flows
Into eternity
The door seems to close
As the light slowly goes
But it opens up a world
Still unknown

So I'll take the bruises of love
The battering of these storms
The waves break with every act of care
Upon my heart it's my gift I give to you
What else could I do
Goodnight and God bless
I'll see you soon

Open my eyes
Help me see
I usher your servant
Before thee
I'm tending the traveller
Bearing their load
Helping them walk
Down this final road

So I'll take the bruises of love
The battering of these storms
The waves break with every act of care
Upon my heart it's my gift I give to you
What else could I do
Goodnight and God bless
I'll see you soon

Sentimental feelings sometimes swell
When they break against experience
Let me love well
We fight and win the battles in the hallways of heart and mind
So I'll choose to love again and again
Until the time
When the door flings open
And he holds your hand
As you take your first steps
In the promised land

So I'll take the bruises of love
The battering of these storms
The waves break with every act of care
Upon my heart it's my gift I give to you
What else could I do
Goodnight and God bless
I'll see you soon
