Timothy Brindle
Restore My Vision (Pluck My Eyes Out!)
[Intro: Timothy Brindle]
Humble Beast and Lamp Mode / call it beast mode / Braille / Odd Thomas / Courtland Urbano / it's a beautiful eulogy /

[Verse 1]
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 got us 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 are as blind as Stevie Wonder /

[Hook]
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 / (X2) / restore my vision (X6)

[Verse 2]
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 exertion / but pride's poison is lurking so my vision blurred / from our sinful urge / renew my sight with Your living word /

[Verse 3]
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 / to purchased our salvation / damaged eyes reconstructed / removing all obstructions and preserving those who trust Him / even though we deviated 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 till the day that 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 praise that's unceasing /

[Outro]
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 till that face-to-face communion begins / (X2)
