Close my eyes my Jesus
Take me under your wings
I know I'm not as perfect as you desire
But i would love to hear the angels sing
My heart is getting weaker and weaker
And I'm just waiting for it to be all over
Will I see your eyes Dear Heavenly King
Or is your glory to bright for me to look in
Then let my eyes be blinded by your glory
For there is nothing on earth here for me
While the pitter and patter after the spoils of life
While they fight over dirt and live in strife
Didn't they hear you when you say
Your going to prepare a place for them for that special day
Why do we hear but not listed
Why have eyes and cannot see
Everything on this earth will be as dust
Yet we struggle and envy and be jealous and filled with lust
REMOVE ME! Oh God, I beg thee so
For this earth has made my spirit low
But everyday you open my eyes, I say thank you with tears in my eyes
But who can fool the Almighty one, you know my words are a lie
No more dream, no more sleep, no more desire to eat
Just a desperate desire my Jesus to lay at your feet
