The Polish Pope sang it on his travels around the world, making it a symbol of Peter's boat guided by the Holy Spirit. In this Rock Version, LumVex respects the initial prayer and leads the music to an epic crescendo. The refrain “Lord, you looked me in the eyes…” ceases to be just a ballad and becomes a cry of total surrender. 📖 Lyrics – The Boat You opened yourself to the sea, you opened yourself to the sea. You sought neither wise men nor rich men. You only want me to follow you. Lord, you looked me in the eyes. Smiling, you pronounced my name. There on the shore, I left my boat. Next to you, I will seek another sea. You know well that in my boat I have neither gold nor silver, only nets and my work. Lord, you looked me in the eyes... You, fisherman of other seas, eternal longing for souls that wait, kind friend who calls me thus. Lord, you looked me in the eyes... #CatholicPraise #JohnPaulII #ChristianRock #TheArk #LumVex
