Track 5: “Eyes Wide Open”
“Eyes Wide Open” is a song about the transformative power of God’s light when it shines into the darkest corners of our hearts. Sometimes, we live unaware of the areas in our lives that need healing or repentance. We might even believe we’re walking in freedom, only to suddenly realize we’ve been stumbling in the shadows all along.
Psalm 27:1 declares, “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?” God’s light doesn’t just expose our flaws—it also reveals His overwhelming grace and salvation. This song reflects that pivotal moment when the light of Jehovah Ori—the Lord our Light—breaks through, opening our eyes to both our sin and His mercy.
Ephesians 5:8 reminds us, “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.” The lyrics of “Eyes Wide Open” capture the tension between the discomfort of seeing our failures and the joy of stepping into God’s redeeming love. It’s about recognizing that while the light may reveal what’s broken, it also illuminates the path to healing.
Jesus said in John 8:12, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” This song is a declaration of that truth. It’s for anyone who’s ready to move from denial or hidden sin into the freedom that comes with living fully in God’s light.
“Eyes Wide Open” is both a confession and a celebration—acknowledging the areas where we’ve been blind, while rejoicing in the clarity and peace that only God’s light can bring.

Have you ever had a moment of clarity where you suddenly saw something about yourself you hadn’t noticed before? It’s like a light switched on, revealing things that were hidden in the shadows. Sometimes, that light exposes sin or brokenness, and it can be uncomfortable. But it’s also the first step toward healing and freedom.
Psalm 27:1 declares, “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?” When God’s light shines into our lives, it’s not to shame us but to lead us out of darkness. Jehovah Ori—the Lord is my light—reveals both our flaws and His grace. The song “Eyes Wide Open” captures that moment of revelation when we see ourselves and our sin clearly, but we also see God’s mercy shining even brighter.
In Ephesians 5:8, Paul reminds us that we were once in darkness, but now we are light in the Lord. This isn’t just about avoiding sin; it’s about embracing a new identity as children of light. Jesus Himself said in John 8:12 that He is the light of the world, and anyone who follows Him will never walk in darkness.
Seeing our flaws and failures can be painful, but it’s also a gift. It means God is at work, opening our eyes to areas where He wants to bring healing. His light doesn’t just expose; it transforms.
Personal Application:
Are there areas in your life where you’ve been avoiding God’s light? Maybe there’s a sin or habit you’ve tried to keep hidden. Ask Jehovah Ori to shine His light on your heart, not to condemn, but to lead you into healing and freedom.
Prayer:
Lord, You are my light and my salvation. Shine Your light into every corner of my heart. Expose what needs to be healed and lead me out of darkness. Help me to live as a child of light, reflecting Your love to the world. In Yeshua’s name, Amen.
Lyrics
Track 5: “Eyes Wide Open”
Theme: The moment of realizing our sin in the light of God’s truth.
Scripture Inspiration: Psalm 27:1 – “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?”
Name of God: Jehovah Ori (The Lord is My Light)
Verse 1:
I stumbled blind, thought I could see,
But darkness wrapped itself in me.
The lies I loved became my guide,
Till Your light cut through my pride.
I thought the shadows were my friends,
But all they did was blur the end.
And in that place where darkness grew,
Your light broke in and pulled me through.
Chorus:
Jehovah Ori, shine on me,
Break the chains I couldn’t see.
Your light uncovers, but doesn’t shame,
It calls me back in Jesus’ name.
Jehovah Ori, You lead the way,
Turning night into day.
Verse 2:
With eyes wide open, I confess,
The mess I made, my faithlessness.
But Your light doesn’t just reveal,
It heals the wounds I tried to seal.
So here I stand in honest light,
Surrendered to Your endless might.
No fear, no guilt, just grace instead,
Your light has raised me from the dead.
Bridge:
For hearts still trapped in hidden lies,
Jehovah Ori, open their eyes.
Shine through the fog, break the night,
Lead them into Your light.
Chorus:
Jehovah Ori, shine on us,
In Your light, we place our trust.
Your light uncovers, but doesn’t shame,
It calls us back in Jesus’ name.
Jehovah Ori, You lead the way,
Turning night into day.
Outro:
May His light illuminate your soul,
Making every broken part whole.
Jehovah Ori will guide your steps,
In His light, you’ll find your rest.
