Eyes of Righteousness (Reverend D-Von)

[Chris]

The lyrics we had on the site always bothered me as they were quite off, so I took what was there and edited them as I went through the song a couple times. I believe this is a LOT better, but not necessarily perfect (as it's sometimes a bit tricky to make out exactly what's being said, especially the background vocals). If you have any corrections, please let me know.

Oh, testify!

Please call my name (I want to hear my name)
Please call my name (I want to hear my name)
Please call my name (from above)
Please (yeah)
Please call my name (ooh ooh ooh)
Put my faith to the test (hey, hey, faith to the test, yeah)
Lord, give me eyes of righteousness (ooh, give me eyes, so I can see)

Lord, I was a sinner (yes, I was)
I was unclean (ooh)
But I've been to the mountain
And the truth I've seen
Yes, I bear witness
Put my faith to the test (well, well, well, well)
Hey, Lord, give me eyes of righteousness (I think I see you)

Don't covet money (hey)
Don't covet the flesh (I don't need no more)
Don't covet evil
Of souls possessed (hey)
Surrender your soul
To the light above (hey, hey)
Open your heart
To all his love

Please call my name (I want to hear my name)
Please call my name (I want to hear my name)
Please call my name (from above)
Please (yeah)
Please call my name (ooh ooh ooh)
Put my faith to the test (hey, hey, faith to the test, yeah)
Lord, give me eyes of righteousness (ooh, give me eyes, so I can see)
(I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it or not)

Oh, let us pray (yeah)
Let's get down on our knees (well, get down on your knees)
And while you're down there
Say please please please (please)
Please show those sinners (hey, hey)
Your power and life (hey, hey)
Wash away the darkness
With your light

Please call my name (oh man)
Please call my name (call me)
Please call my name (call me)
Please (hey, hey, call me)
Please call my name (I'm down on my knees)
Put my faith to the test (put my faith to the test, yeah, yeah)
Lord, give me eyes of righteousness (eyes of righteousness)

Well well well, well well
Yeah, yeah
Hey
Eyes of righteousness
Down here on my knees
Well well well well
Please

Thank you! The lyrics on here pissed me off too.
It was never "he's called my name"

...
Don't covet the money
Don't covet the flesh
Don't covet the evil
Our souls possessed
...
Lord let us pray
Let's hit our knees
...
Please show these sinners
Your power and might

TT.

Thanks, I've updated theme accordingly on the site.
