Open Your Eyes

                   (The Sower and Reaper Rejoice)

Open your eyes to the world all around you,

Don’t let despair or confusion confound you,

Only believe – let the harvest astound you.

The sower and the reaper rejoice.

 

You think you’re not worthy, courageous or able

To bring your lost brother to eat at my table,

But I know your heart and ignore the world’s label

The sower and the reaper rejoice

(Chorus)

The reaper reaps what the sower started,

If we show Christ to the broken hearted.

Look to the fields see they’re ready for harvest,

Open your eyes and see.

 

You say four months more, but my child can’t you see,

The harvest is ripened today and will be

The source of rejoicing for you and for me.

The sower and the reaper rejoice.

(Chorus)

Go preaching the word for my kingdom has come,

The love of the Father, displayed through the Son,

By power of The Spirit new souls can be won

The sower and the reaper rejoice.

(Chorus)

Open your eyes to the world all around you,

Don’t let despair or confusion confound you,

Only believe – see the harvest astound you.

The sower and the reaper rejoice.

The sower and the reaper rejoice.

The sower and the reaper rejoice.
