Lyrics

FATHER
Written by Donna Marie Manzer

Father I'm here before You
I'm here just as I am
Father forgive me
For what I've done and what I've failed to understand

I know there is no man who stands as tall as he who kneels to pray
My gift that I offer You
Is all I'll do and say on this day

Chorus:
Open my eyes to see you Lord
Open my ears to hear You
May not one day go by that I won't try to know and love You

Father have mercy
Have mercy on me
For all that I have become
And all that I have chosen not to be

I know all prayers rise high
To those who fall down low on bended knee
I pray that Your will be done
And I do all that You ask of me

Chorus:
Open my eyes to see you Lord
Open my ears to hear You
May not one day go by that I won't try to know and love You

Yea, I know there is no man
Who stands as tall as he who kneels to pray
My gift that I offer You
Is all I'll do and say on this day
