Open My Eyes, Lord
Open the Eyes of My Heart
I love your threads & reading all the replies. Someone used up my songs : ( hugs anyway & when I drift off to sleep of course one will come to me.......
I can remember griping because Journey tickets were $14 when everyone else was charging $9 to $12. It sure seems like a bargain now. (Yes, I still paid. We had already stayed in line all night...)
Thanks, fatima, for today's Tell Us Your Favorite "Cut and Open" Songs.
Not really related to the thread (other than it being loosely related to your post)
I can't say I have ever knowingly listened to Petra, but they are referenced in a very funny song:
The Houseplant Song by Audio Adrenaline
Take two houseplants
And put them to the test
Set them both in front of speakers
And let the music do the rest
The first one you play Mozart
Or something lovely like that
The second one you play that Petra Or that MegaDeth.
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is...
Open My Eyes—Nazz
Open All Night—Bruce Springsteen
Open Invitation—Santana
My Opening Farewell—Jackson Browne
It has been a long time since I've heard that Rush song, and it never made into my regular rotation (although I might have to reconsider). This one did:
I also found an interesting cover of Open Secrets while looking for the Rush version so I could post it. (I'm not sure how much I like it yet, but it is different.)
Side note - anyone else surprised at how few songs we are coming up with for cut and open?

Bible in a Year: Genesis 43–45; Matthew 12:24–50
I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. Psalm 13:5 Today's Scripture & Insight:
It’s not uncommon during a long (or short!) trip for someone in a group of travelers to ask, “Are we there yet?” or “How much longer?” Who hasn’t heard these universal queries coming from the lips of children and adults eager to arrive at their destination? But people of all ages are also prone to ask similar questions when wearied because of life challenges that never seem to cease.
Such was the case with David in Psalm 13. Four times in two verses (vv. 1–2), David—who felt forgotten, forsaken, and defeated—lamented “How long?” In verse two, he asks, “How long must I wrestle with my thoughts?” Psalms that include lament, like this one, implicitly give us permission to worshipfully come to the Lord with questions of our own. After all, what better person to talk to during prolonged times of stress and strain than God? We can bring our struggles with illness, grief, the waywardness of a loved one, and relational difficulties to Him.
Worship need not stop when we have questions. The sovereign God of heaven welcomes us to bring our worry-filled questions to Him. And perhaps, like David, in due time our questions will be transformed into petitions and expressions of trust and praise to the Lord (vv. 3–6).
Lord, thank You that I don’t have to stop worshiping when I have questions; I can worship You with my questions.
Just found the thread, Canteen not in title :(
How's everyone this morning?
