A visit from Nana Fantz

Sunday when we sang Open My Eyes That I May See, I got a little visit from Nana Fantz.

I don't know exactly what it was, but I immediately "heard" my great grandmother playing her living room organ and singing right along. I leaned over and whispered to Brad, and he said he heard it, too.

I smiled through the rest of the song.

Plus, the words are beautiful:


 Open my eyes, that I may see 
 glimpses of truth you have for me; 
 place in my hands the wonderful key 
 that shall unlock and set me free. 
 Silently now I wait for you, 
 ready, my God, your will to do. 
 Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine! 

 Open my ears, that I may hear 
 voices of truth so sharp and clear; 
 and while the messages sound in my ear, 
 everything else will disappear. 
 Silently now I wait for you, 
 ready, my God, your will to do. 
 Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine! 

 Open my mouth, let me declare 
 words of assurance everywhere; 
 open my heart and let me prepare 
 your loving kindness to share. 
 Silently now I wait for you, 
 ready, my God, your will to do. 
 Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine!
