Songtext zu 'Restore My Vision (Pluck My Eyes Out!)' von Timothy Brindle

[Timothy brindle]
Humble Beast and Lamp Mode, call it Beast Mode
Braille, Odd Thomas, Courtland Urbano
It's a Beautiful Eulogy, yo

[Timothy brindle, Braille, Odd Thomas]
All born in sin, selfish hellish cellar
All born blind, helpless Helen Keller
So we can't see with the eyes of our hearts, it's
Cause sin and Satan, God has blinded by darkness
Ignorance is not bliss
The condition of our fallenness is a consequence
Of man's disbelief and disobedience
It's hideous and heinous
In the flesh, we stand against the God who made us
And we remain His enemy unless He comes to save us
We all can carry the character of spiritual blindness
With a mask and masquerade, our acts of dead deeds and self-righteousness
There's never been a minimal simple or general disbelief
What's underneath is that we really believe and view ourselves as deities
Our spiritual vision impaired, spiritual sense isn't there
Prefer a sinful sensual stare
If we can't see Jesus as the sweetest lover
It's cause our hearts our as blind as Stevie Wonder

[Timothy Brindle]
Pluck my eyes out so I can't use 'em to sin
Open up the eyes of my heart, renew them again
So I can see the glory of Christ, the beauty of Him
Let the Spirit and the Word be the zoom and the lens
Restore my vision

[Verse 2: Timothy brindle + Braille + Odd Thomas]
But the Spirit's speaking light so beaming bright
He changes dead affections to have extreme delight
This is the "I" in TULIP cause with your eyes renewed, it's
The only response when you see the sight of Jesus Christ
The new birth is a dividing line between heaven and hell
We drew a line in the sand forfeit the son of man's plan to rebel
Born alienated from God, holiness and divine right
But He unites us with Messiah to walk in a newness of life
What a beautiful sight
We catch it in glimpses with our vision tinted
I squinted to see Him clear, confused by distorted images
The Great Physician is pursuing His people
So persistent with unlimited love
Poured out His blood to cover up all of our blemishes
He's poised as a surgeon at the point of conversion
Now our choice is to worship with joyful excursion
But pride's poison is lurking so my vision's blurred
From our sinful urge, renew my sight with Your living Word

[Hook: Timothy brindle]
Pluck my eyes out so I can't use 'em to sin
Open up the eyes of my heart, renew them again
So I can see the glory of Christ, the beauty of Him
Let the Spirit and the Word be the zoom and the lens
Restore my vision

[Verse 3: Timothy brindle + Braille + Odd Thomas]
So it's like I see better when I take my glasses off
Cause I'm not as distracted by that which fogs
My attractions that deserve the wrath of God
I'd rather see my Master's glory at the Cross
His righteousness requires justice
God's judgement satisfied through the sacrifice of Christ
After His mission was finalized
So purchased our salvation and damaged eyes reconstructed
Removing all obstructions and preserving those who trust Him
Even though we deviate from what the original plan intended
We get a beautiful picture of God's redemption when he condescended
Carried the penalty of sin to the point of death and resurrected
To rightfully be seated on a throne next to the Father glorious and splendid
We can't wait 'til the day we Him
His face will be beaming
With such radiance, our eyes will be remade in His freedom
When we see Him as He is, the gaze is so pleasing
The grace that's proceeding calls for eternal praises unceasing

[Hook: Timothy brindle]
With glorified eyes, I won't use 'em to sin
On the day that I see Him, I'll never misuse 'em again
And then I'll gaze upon the beauty of Him
So I can't wait 'til that face-to-face communion begins
