Story behind the song
I have a hard time focusing on what's important sometimes especially during prayer time if I don't shut myself off from the world around me close my eyes and look in my heart to what is truly important I get totally distracted. This song is special to me for another reason the day I finished putting the music to it a special Uncle of mine passed away. He had lost his vision a while back and was struggling with daily life but he never lost sight that Jesus could and would heal him someday either here or in his Heavenly home. Now he's walking in that Garden sight fully restored, and I will again meet him there at a later date.
Lyrics
CLOSE YOUR EYES
CLOSE YOUR EYES
FEEL HIS GREAT POWER
CLOSE YOUR EYES
HEAR HIS CREATION SING
CLOSE YOUR EYES
REACH OUT TO JESUS
CLOSE YOUR EYES, CLOSE YOUR EYES
CLOSE YOUR EYES
KNOW HEAVEN IS WAITING
CLOSE YOUR EYES
OH THE BEAUTY YOU’LL SEE
CLOSE YOUR EYES
TAKE HOLD OF THE KING
CLOSE YOUR EYES, CLOSE YOUR EYES
WITH OPEN EYES
WE CAN’T FORGET THE WORLD OF PAIN
WITH OPEN EYES
WE SEE MATERIAL THINGS
WITH OPEN EYES
THE IMAGE IS HAZY
BUT CLOSE YOUR EYES
JESUS WILL SHOW YOU
THE LOVE AND BEAUTY THAT WAITS
CLOSE YOUR EYES
TO THE PAIN ALL AROUND YOU
CLOSE YOUR EYES
FEEL HIS HEALING GRACE
CLOSE YOUR EYES
WITH OPEN ARMS HE AWAITS
CLOSE YOUR EYES, CLOSE YOUR EYES
SO CLOSE YOUR EYES
HIS PRESENSE GROWS STRONGER
WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
YOU’LL SEE JESUS FACE TO FACE
NOW CLOSE YOUR EYES
WALK IN HIS GARDEN
THERE I’LL MEET YOU
AT A LATER DATE Repeat these lines twice
CLOSE YOUR EYES, CLOSE YOUR EYES
CLOSE YOUR EYES, CLOSE YOUR EYES
CLOSE YOUR EYES, CLOSE YOUR EYES
