Open the Eyes of My Heart
Yesterday we sang a new-to-us song, "Open the Eyes of My Heart, Lord." Before we sang it I mentioned that I picked this song especially for Epiphany since during Epiphany we celebrate the many ways we see God Incarnate in Christ. God comes into the world in Christ and Christ shines with the glory of God.
I also like this song because it reminds me to look for God wherever I am. Asking God to "Open the Eyes of My Heart" is asking God to help me see the Light everywhere, in everything.
I don't know about you, but when I am having a bad day /week/month this is a good reminder. When times are tough it is tempting to narrow our vision to only see the difficult things and the things that are going wrong. We might miss those glimpses of glory because we forgot to look for them!
Where have you seen the Light of God's glory in your life this week? Are there times you need to be reminded to open the eyes of your heart?

That song -- and some of the other praise songs we've done recently, ones that have codas, was kind of hard for me, and I'm not the most musical person in the world, so that's not saying much. As songs become more familiar to me, I can at least sing along under my voice (I rarely sing out loud because I've got such a rotten singing voice). :)
There are certainly songs that have that same effect on me, reminding me of the presence of God everywhere. It's a good thing to be reminded of.
