BE OPENED
LYRICS
Verse 1:
Our blinded eyes and prideful hearts
Will rise to fight, then fall apart
In our own strength, we toil in vain
Insistent upon our own way
Verse 2:
We cannot hear, enclosed within kingdoms of fear
Collapsed by sin
Have mercy, Lord, send Your healing light
Call us by name from death to life
Chorus 1:
Only You can free our hearts and minds to be opened
To be opened
Breaking ev'ry chain and tie that binds, to be opened
To be opened
Verse 3:
In darkest depths, our shipwrecked souls
Cannot confess what they do not know
So light our way, Lord, help us see
We come with nothing but our need
Chorus 2:
Would You whisper all Your words of life to be opened
To be opened
Loosen ev'ry tongue and we will cry to be opened
To be opened
Verse 4:
We cannot sing unless we're sung
So have Your way
Holy Spirit, come
Holy Spirit, come

Be Opened is a song inspired by the story of Jesus healing the deaf man in Mark 7:31-37. In this moment, Jesus reveals His power to open what is closed, both physically and spiritually.
Reflecting on this, we are reminded of our need for Jesus to open areas of our lives we may not even realize are closed — inside the depths of our hearts, minds, and souls.
