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
