32. He washed my eyes with tears

1. He washed my eyes with tears that I might see,

   The broken heart I had was good for me;

   He tore it all apart and looked inside,

   He found it full of fear and foolish pride.

   He swept away the things that made me blind

   And then I saw the clouds were silver lined;

   And now I understand 'twas best for me

   He washed my eyes with tears that I might see.

2. He washed my eyes with tears that I might see

   The glory of Himself revealed to me;

   I did not know that He had wounded hands

   I saw the blood He spilt upon the sands.

   I saw the marks of shame and wept and cried;

   He was my substitute for me He died;

   And now I'm glad He came so tenderly;

   And washed my eyes with tears that I might see.
