Story Behind The Song
Feeling inspirational, I was praying and asked Jesus that I might see him. I asked him to bless my eyes and this song rang quietly in my head. I think the author is really Jesus, but in my meditation, He told me that I could claim the copyright. He doesn't collect Earthly royalties.

Lyrics
Bless My Eyes
© 2013, John Gerard Macchietto
Verse 1: Your appearance on my eyes
Holy Jesus, bless my eyes --
Humbly kneeling, slow to rise
Holy Jesus, bless my eyes.
Love and light please shine on me
Holy Jesus, come to me --
Praying hard that You'll hear me
Holy Jesus redeem me.
Chorus: Holding still -- for You to show me --
Sacred path for You to guide me --
Verse 2: Wanting so to see Your face
Holy Jesus, bless my eyes --
Longing to bath in Your grace
Holy Jesus, bless my eyes.
Hear my prayer, Oh Lord I plea
Holy Jesus, come to me --
Clear my mind so I may see
Holy Jesus, redeem me.
Chorus: Holding still -- for You to show me --
Sacred path for You to guide me --
(Instrumental - Humming)

Verse 3: Shine a light so I may see
Holy Jesus, come to me --
Heal my heart, Your devotee
Holy Jesus, redeem me.
Bless my eyes with sacred grace
Holy Jesus, come to me --
Wrap my heart in your embrace
Holy Jesus, redeem me.
Chorus: Holding still -- for You to show me --
Sacred path for You to guide me --
Verse 4: Your appearance -- on my eyes
Holy Jesus, bless my eyes --
Humbly kneeling, slow to rise
Holy Jesus, bless my eyes.
Love and light please shine on me
Holy Jesus, come to me --
Praying hard that you'll hear me
Holy Jesus redeem me.
Your appearance on my eyes
Holy Jesus, bless my eyes --
Humbling kneeling, slow to rise
Holy Jesus, bless my eyes.
Holy Jesus, bless my eyes.
Holy Jesus, bless my eyes.
