Words and music by Andrew Peterson

INTRO D D/F# G A x2


corrected



        D
I wanna open up my eyes
    G
And see a more beautiful world
        G#dim
Let the hand of God Almighty
          Asus              A
Sweep his colors through my life
        D/F#              G
I wanna hold tight to the laughter
    Bm      A      G
And ride it like a child
       D                 D/F#
On the winds that billow joyful
      Asus       A
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


   A/C#   D            D/F#
So let me sing for the love
       G
Let me love for the lost
       D          D/F#
Let me lose all I have
           G             Asus 
For what I found on the cross
A      D                 D/F#
Let me trust you with my life
       G                G#dim
Let me live to give you praise
             D/A
Lord, let me praise you
                           Asus A
For the grace by which I'm saved
               D D/F# G A x2
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
