Let your eye be single, Jesus urged,

See behind Earth’s many things;

In the place of all you long to own

Choose the sight awareness brings.

Let your eye be single, single now.

Let your eye be single, Jesus said,

See the parts within the whole.

Find the whole within each tiny part,

Sense the body in the soul.

Let your eye be single, single now.

Let your eye be single, Christ implored,

Know the myst’ry deep inside.

In the myst’ry meet the heart of God

Filled with love both deep and wide.

Let your eye be single, single now.

May our eyes be single, single now,

As we rest behind our thought

In the wisdom Spirit gives us all

Which is neither learnt nor taught

For God’s presence dances in us now.
