lyrics

Big Fat Cataract

With failed faith, a blind man thought his eyes were only closed.
In his mind he truly thought that he could see.
And his wife's mute mouth made for hands so strong and loud,
and she could play a pretty tune that he would sing.
Her eyes were his,
so perfectly teal,
and his lips were hers,
although quietly still.

Pharoah, your hard heart lost your life,
and in the name of God, the sea rained down upon your eyes.
Your dark life has clouded up your mind,
and it makes you miss the sight provided by your wife's beautiful eyes.

Sing for me.
Let him love the giver not the gift.
Break his heart that his sight may drift.
Sing me a song with that voice you have,
let it be from the heart.

Jonah's shade is gone,
and on his face he wears the bitter rage from misunderstanding God's glorious grace.
Hard heart, stone heart,
blind man open up your eyes.

Sing for me.
Let him love the giver not the gift.
Break his heart that his sight may drift.
Sing me a song with that voice you have,
let it be from the heart.

You've seen so many things,
but paid them no attention.
Your ears are open but they hear nothing.
Sing for me.
Hard heart,
stone heart,
blind man open up your eyes.
Hard heart,
stone heart,
LOOK! YOU BLIND! AND SEE!
Open up your eyes.
I can see through your disguise.
Behold the glory that's before me.
Open up your eyes.
I can see through you disguise,
behold the glory that's before me,
and made for me,
to pour out on your life.

about

the lilies & sparrows Greer, South Carolina

the lilies and sparrows originated from Ben Patat's acoustic writings while on and off of tour with the band Divide the Sea. The songs are our way of praising God for what he has done for us. He is worthy of all of our praise for the sole reason that He created us, not to mention that He sent His son to die for our sins so that we may be considered righteous through faith. ... more
