He Opened Her Eyes

Lyrics

Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC

[Chorus – Full Choir, Slow and Soulful]
He opened her eyes
He opened her eyes
Hagar thought it was over
But He opened her eyes

The water was gone
Her strength had run dry
But God heard the child
And He opened her eyes

He opened her eyes
He opened her eyes
The answer was near her
When He opened her eyes

[Bridge – Warm Stacked Harmonies]
What aileth thee, Hagar?
Fear not

God has heard
The voice of the lad

Lift up the child
Hold him in thine hand

I will make of him
A great nation

God heard
God saw

God came near
In the wilderness

[Chorus – Rising Strings and Brass Hits]
He opened her eyes
He opened her eyes
She saw the well waiting
When He opened her eyes

Mercy in the desert
Water in the sand
The thing she could not see
Was already in God's plan

He opened her eyes
He opened her eyes
Hope was still living
When He opened her eyes

[Bridge – Dynamic Choir Changes]
No water
Still promise

No pathway
Still promise

No shelter
Still promise

God remembered
Every promise

She laid him down
But heaven looked near

The child started crying
And God chose to hear

Lift him up
Lift him up

The story
Is not over

[Repetitive Run – Slow-Burning Choir Pocket]
Open her eyes
Open her eyes

Let her see
What You supplied

Open her eyes
Open her eyes

The well was by her side

God heard
God heard

The child in the wilderness

God heard
God heard

And mercy answered him

Water came
Hope rose

Water came
Hope rose

Empty hands
Filled again

Empty hands
Filled again

She filled the bottle
She gave the child drink

She filled the bottle
And hope began to breathe

[Choir Run – Powerful Layered Harmonies]
Already near
Already waiting

Already there
Before she saw it

Already near
Already flowing

God had provision
In the wilderness

He sees the outcast
He hears the forgotten

He keeps the promise
When strength is gone

He opened her eyes
He opened her eyes

And showed her
She was not alone

[Outro – Full Orchestra, Controlled Choir]
She thought the desert
Would finish their story

But God met her weakness
With mercy and glory

The child kept living
The promise survived

The well had been waiting
Till God opened her eyes

He opened her eyes
He opened her eyes

[Final Choir Hit]
The well was already there!
