If my heart has grown cold
There Your love will unfold
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
When I'm blind to my way
There Your Spirit will pray
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
Oceans will part nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise glory shown
In my life Your will be done
Present suffering may pass
Lord Your mercy will last
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
And my heart will find praise
I'll delight in Your way
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
Oceans will part nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise glory shown
In my life Your will be done
Oceans will part nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise glory shown
In my life Your will be done
(Your will be done, will be done, Lord)
(Your will be done, Your will be done)
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
Jesus open my eyes to the work of Your hand
Oceans will part, nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise, glory shown
In my life Your will be done
Oceans will part, nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise, glory shown
In my life Your will be done (In my life...)
In my life Your will be done
In my life Your will be done
About This Song
"Oceans Will Part" is a deeply contemplative worship song that explores the profound tension between human spiritual blindness and divine intervention. The track delves into themes of spiritual awakening and renewal, focusing on moments when believers feel disconnected from their faith-when hearts have "grown cold"-and how God's love serves as a catalyst for restored vision and purpose. Rather than triumphant declarations, the lyrics reveal vulnerability and dependence, acknowledging seasons of spiritual drought while expressing faith that God will "open my eyes to the work of Your hand." The song's central metaphor of parting oceans evokes the biblical Exodus narrative, suggesting that the same divine power that delivered the Israelites continues to work miraculously in contemporary believers' lives. Musically, the track builds from intimate, reflective verses to soaring choruses that mirror the emotional journey from spiritual numbness to renewed hope. The production features Hillsong's signature atmospheric worship style, with layered vocals and crescendoing instrumentation that creates space for both personal reflection and corporate declaration. The song resonated with audiences because it honestly addresses the reality of spiritual seasons-the times when faith feels distant-while maintaining hope in God's faithfulness to restore and redirect. Its emphasis on surrendering personal will ("In my life Your will be done") speaks to the deeper Christian theme of dying to self and trusting divine sovereignty even through suffering.
