Verse 1: A F#m D E A Open my eyes (Open my eyes) Open my heart (Open my heart) So I may see the things You have prepared for me
Verse 2: A F#m D E A Renew my mind (Renew my mind) With words from your mouth (With words from your mouth) They are like treasure to my soul Renewing my heart
(Repeat)

This song is about God’s vision and His heartbeat for the lost and the world. As mentioned in the passage, in the last days people will be flooding to this place (the mountain of God). It is also a vision that God planted in me when I was worshipping God, that people will flood to our church and the place is overfilled with people singing praises to God and worshipping Him. The days are coming when God’s glory will be revealed and men will be drawn to that place.
In the verse, it talks about who God is and how his presence is going to draw people from all over to him. The pre-chorus is a vision of people coming in to praise God and how the mountain of God will and should look like (overflooding with people in repentance and in awe of God’s presence). The chorus shows that revival has finally occurred in the heart of men and in the cities, men rejoiced and there is such joy in the atmosphere because many sinners are saved.
I wrote this song as a love song expressing my gratitude to God. As you listen to this song, I pray that you will be reminded of the many things that God has done in your life. Be it in your heart, life, family, friends, study and career. Count your blessings J Remember Him – The God that is always faithful and there for you.
Verse 1: C F G (x2) C F G C F G C I love the way you touch my heart The way you work in my life Pouring your spirit into my soul Give me the strength that I need
Verse 2: Thank you lord for your love You have faithfully seek me Though I’m small, weak and I have sins You still love me as I am You still love me as I am
Chorus: C G Am G (x3) F G C You strengthen me when I’m weak Give me hope when I’m lost You pursuit me when I’m far, when I’m caught in stubbornness You heal my heart and make me strong Your love leads me back to you Now I’m here standing right next to you
I was inspired to write this song when I was reflecting about my life before I came to know God. How many times I felt lost and lonely and often questioned about meaning of life and my purpose to be here. But when I took the step and chose to be with God, life gradually make sense and I started understanding my purpose for being here and how much God’s love and grace is sufficient to see me through even the toughest times. I pray that this song will reach those who are seeking for more in life, to reach those who are lost and weary. Jesus is the only way to life, He has come so that we can have life to the fullest. I pray that one day you will be able to experience this too.
Verse 1: D A E F#m D A E D A E F#m D A F#m E Have you ever felt, you were lost and lonely That the air you breathe is stuck at your throat Have you ever question of your existence That sometimes you feel like you’re just not here
verse 2: D A E F#m D A E D A E F#m D A E A Have you ever wonder why you are here Is it just to fill the face of the earth Have you ever thought of who created you That there is no one like you
PreChorus: E F#m D A E F#m D A E F#m D E A How can I have joy in storms How can I see hope in this place filled with hurt How do I know who am I to be Who am I in this world (repeat)
Chorus: D A D A D A D E A You are the one who created me Breathing your life into my unformed body Given me hope and a destiny Forever I’m Yours, Your beloved one.
Verse 1: G D Bm Em C G F D I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
Verse 2: G D Bm Em C G F D A He won’t let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
Chorus: A E C#m F#m D A G E The LORD watches over you—
he is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
A E C#m F#m D A D E A D G The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
This song is about God’s constant faithfulness in our life and how his love is everlasting. God’s faithfulness and love is everlasting because of His character. As mentioned in psalm 48:14, He is our God forever and ever and He can never disown Himself. He is our guide to the end, never giving up. I was very touched by Psalm 48 especially verse 14 as it truly reminded me of who God is and His character. Wrote this song in April and it really brought much joy and revival into my hearts, knowing that God is truly with me even through the hard times and that He is and He will forever be my strength and my guide.
