Open Our Eyes

Elisha’s servant was distressed

Surrounded by hopelessness

He was confused by horses and soldiers

And all that he observed

 

But Elisha prayed and the truth was displayed

Chariots of fire truly outnumbered

The reality was really the reverse

Of what the servant previously observed

The servant’s eyes were opened

And the soldiers’ eyes obscured

 

We too are surrounded by allies

Incredible forces

If God is for us, who is against us?

The battle belongs to the Lord

He is the Lord, God of Armies

That’s His name

The Spirit in us is greater

Than the one who is in the world

 

In this world we will have trouble

But Jesus has overcome the world!

The gates of Hell shall not prevail!

Against the offense of the cross

Oh if only we could see

We believe

Help our unbelief

Open Our Eyes!

And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 2 Kings 6:17 KJV

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 KJV

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 KJV

And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 2 Kings 6:16 KJV

Who needs to hear this?
