You took these bones
These lifeless bones
And with one breath
I came alive
When I was blind
You healed these eyes
What once was dark
You turned to light
So with my life I glorify
I'm bowing down
I surrender now
My eyes have seen
The King of glory
The Holy one
The risen Son
My eyes have seen
The King of glory
No other name
Will steal my praise
With every breath
I'll let it rise
So with my life I glorify
I'm bowing down
I surrender now
My eyes have seen
The King of glory
The Holy one
The risen Son
My eyes have seen
The King of glory
My eyes have seen
The King of glory
To the King of kings
The Lord of lords
The God who reigns forevermore
We cry holy, holy
Is the Lord almighty
To the King of kings
The Lord of lords
The God who reigns forevermore
We cry holy, holy
Is the Lord almighty
I'm bowing down
I surrender now
My eyes have seen
The King of glory
The Holy one
The risen Son
My eyes have seen
The King of glory
My eyes have seen
The King of glory
My eyes have seen
The King of glory
Passion, Melodie Malone - I've Witnessed It (Live From Passion 2023)
My Eyes Have Seen Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration
The song "My Eyes Have Seen" by Passion City Church is featured in the video titled "Passion, Melodie Malone - I've Witnessed It (Live From Passion 2023)," which was released on February 3, 2023. This live recording captures the essence of the song as a declaration of spiritual transformation and worship, central to the themes explored during the Passion conference.
The lyrical content presents a personal journey from a state of spiritual lifelessness and blindness to receiving life and sight through divine intervention. The initial verses describe being brought to life from "lifeless bones" and having spiritual blindness healed, turning darkness into light. This profound transformation leads to a commitment to glorify through one's entire life. The core message revolves around the personal experience of witnessing the divine, expressed through the repeated declaration, "My eyes have seen the King of glory."
The song identifies the "King of glory" as the "Holy one, the risen Son," emphasizing the identity of Jesus Christ. This revelation prompts a posture of surrender, articulated by "bowing down, I surrender now." The lyrics strongly affirm the exclusivity of praise, stating "No other name will steal my praise," and commit to letting praise rise with every breath. The bridge expands the worship focus to encompass the broader attributes of God, referring to Him as the "King of kings, the Lord of lords, the God who reigns forevermore," and echoing the heavenly cry of "holy, holy is the Lord almighty." These themes reinforce the song's central message of radical personal change culminating in devoted, exclusive worship of the revealed God.
The themes explored in "My Eyes Have Seen" resonate deeply with various scripture passages. The transformation from "lifeless bones" brought to life echoes the prophecy in Ezekiel 37 concerning the valley of dry bones receiving breath and life. The healing of blindness and turning darkness to light aligns with accounts of physical and spiritual healing in the New Testament, such as Jesus healing the blind man in John 9, and the concept of God's light shining in our hearts found in 2 Corinthians 4:6. The act of bowing down and surrendering reflects biblical calls to submit to God's authority and worship Him alone, as seen in Philippians 2:10-11 where every knee will bow to Jesus. The phrase "My eyes have seen the King of glory" connects with scriptural visions of God's majesty and holiness, like Isaiah's encounter in the temple in Isaiah 6:1. The declaration that "No other name" will receive praise points to the unique saving power and authority attributed to the name of Jesus in Acts 4:12. The bridge's description of God as "King of kings" and "Lord of lords" is a title applied to both God the Father and Jesus Christ in scriptures like Revelation 19:16. The repeated cry of "holy, holy" directly references the worship described in Isaiah 6:3 and Revelation 4:8.
