Open the Windows
If the eyes of the windows to the soul
Then prayers are the windows to the heart
With the Spirit in control
We open the windows to our innermost part
And with the shutters open wide
We reveal who lives inside
So open the windows, let the light in
So others can see who is dwelling within
Open the Windows and show what is true
So God will get glory for what is on view.
With eyes and heart wide open
God’s light will shine through
Prayers that are groanings
And prayers that are true
Expressing the depths of out innermost parts
The intimate longings of our hearts
Eyes of compassion, prayers of delight
Or pure intercession, confusion or plight
To see a heart clearly, to see it aright
You must look on what’s hiddenright there in plain sight.
