And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
2 Kings 6:17 (KJV)
The poem is a prayerful plea for divine revelation, inspired by the biblical story of Elisha. It asks God to open the speaker’s eyes to see beyond earthly trials and fears, revealing the unseen spiritual reality—symbolized by blazing chariots and horses ascending toward the stars. The speaker seeks clear, pure vision to discern biblical truth, awaken the soul, and inspire praise for God’s name, reflecting a deep desire for faith and connection to eternity.
Lord, like Elisha long ago,
Through trials fierce, your might to show,
Open our eyes that we may see,
The light unseen, eternity.
Chariots blaze with holy fire,
Horses climb where stars aspire,
Beyond the shroud of doubt and fear,
Your host stands near, so strong, so clear.
Grant us sight, so pure, so true,
To pierce the dark, find what’s biblically true,
A vision vast, a sacred beam,
Awake our souls to praise your name.
Passionately Pursuing Christ
