We thought it would be very easy but it wasn't.

                       

The recording at the onset wasn't delightful; it was a humdrum. We just didn’t know yet what was wrong. Until we realized that we missed to do something important, which is to pray (perhaps we got so excited).

So Joms and I took a moment to pray and asked God to forgive us because we forgot to begin in Him. And a big by-the-way, He’s the very reason for our song. So we asked for His guidance and his overflowing grace to cheer our souls and by His Spirit enable us to sing with all our hearts.  

Then spontaneously, our hearts sang for a better rendition. . .

“Open the eyes of my heart Lord, open the eyes of my heart, 

I want to see You…

High and lifted up shining, in the light of Your glory

Pour out Your power and love as we sing HOLY, HOLY, HOLY.”

  

The Lord can bring harmony to our worship as our hearts agree to the truth we sing; that's when Worshiping God For Who He Is happens.

We often ask God to open the eyes of our hearts, but unconsciously yet opened, we miss to seek Him. The truth is; He is willing, and just waiting ‘til his word sink into our hearts.

             Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; 

                 teaching and admonishing one another in psalms 

                   and hymns and spiritual songs 

                 singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

                    Colossians 3:16

Our Prayer,

FATHER, may your use this song as we reach out; we pray that the eyes of our hearts be opened wide so that we may be able to see Your glory and Your power shining before all men, the lost and the found.

We give back all praises and honor to you Our God, in Jesus’ powerful name, Amen.
