Words and Music by Ira F. Stanphill
[Verse 1]
N.C. Dm Am7
He washed my eyes with tears
Dm Gm
That I might see.
C7 Gm
The broken heart I had
C7 F
Was good for me.
N.C. Dm Am7
He tore it all apart
Dm Gm
And looked inside.
C7 Gm
He found it full of fear,
C7 F
And foolish pride.
N.C. Bb
He swept away the things
F
That made me blind.
Dm
And then I saw the clouds
G7 C7
Were silver lined.
N.C. Dm Am7
And now I understand
Dm Gm
'Twas best for me.
C7 Gm
He washed my eyes with tears
C7 F
That I might see.
[Verse 2]
N.C. Dm Am7
He washed my eyes with tears
Dm Gm
That I might see
C7 Gm
The glory of Himself
C7 F
Revealed to me
N.C. Dm Am7
I did not know that He
Dm Gm
Had wounded hands
C7 Gm
I saw the blood He spilt
C7 F
Upon the sand.
N.C. Bb
I saw the marks of shame
F
And wept and cried
Dm
He was my Substitute
G7 C7
For me He died.
N.C. Dm Am7
And now I'm glad He came
Dm Gm
So tenderly
C7 Gm
And washed my eyes with tears
C7 F
that I might see.
