5    -4   5   -6   5     6
He washed my eyes with tears
 5   3   5   -4
That I might see
-4   4 -4    6  -5  5  -4   4   -4  5
The broken heart I had was good for me
5   -4  5  -6  5  6   5    3    5  -4
He tore it all apart and looked inside
-4   4   -4  6   -5  -5  -3   4  -4    4
He found it full of fear and foolish pride
4   -3   -3 -3”  4    -5
He swept a--way the things
 -5   6   -5   5
That made me blind
 5   5   5  5  -4    -4
And then I saw the clouds
 4   -3  4   -4    5  -4  5  -6 5   6
Were silver lined and now I understand
  5    3    5  -4
‘Twas best for me
-4   4    -4  6    -5   -5
He washed my eyes with tears
 -3  4  -4    4
That I might see

Verse 2:
He washed my eyes with tears
That I might see
The glory of Himself revealed to me
I did not know that He had wounded hands
I saw the blood He spilt upon the sands
I saw the marks of shame
And wept and cried
He was my substitute for me He died
And now I’m glad He came ‘twas best for me
He washed my eyes with tears
That I might see
