Thanks for sharing, Paul.
I love Ephesians 1:18 — what a profound verse. I think the phrase “the eyes of your heart” touches on the “mystical” aspect (or even foundation) of Christianity and the mystical aspect of Paul. When I say “mystical,” I mean, in part, “deep knowing,” “heart knowing,” “spirit knowing” … as opposed to Christianity as an intellectual ascent to a list of beliefs.
Thanks again, Paul, for drawing my attention to such a beautiful and profound verse.

Hey, thanks for that background video on the song! It’s really neat to hear what verses run through your mind when you are singing a song and what the song is-a prayer. I love music and songs because the words so often say what’s in my heart better than i do. and the music makes it powerful. I pray that He will open my eyes because i do want to see Him.
