Open My Eyes


Jesse Manibusan shares the inspiring story behind his beloved signature song. Born from a simple Lectio Divina reflection on Scripture, “Open My Eyes” has blossomed into a multicultural favorite, including the bilingual English and Spanish version that is shared in this video.

Open my eyes, Lord.
Help me to see your face.
Open my eyes, Lord.
Help me to see.

And the first shall be last,
and our eyes are opened,
and we’ll hear like never before.
And we’ll speak in new ways
and see God’s face
in places we’ve never known.
