Too visible to see,
and I’m too blind to notice.
Too loud to hear,
and I’m too deaf to listen.
Too tangible to touch,
and I’m too dull to feel.
Such are we, You and I, my Lord
Grant me sight,
or teach me how to see.
Oh my brightest Light!
Grant me hearing,
or teach me how to hear.
Oh my loudest Voice!
Grant me touch,
or teach me how to feel!
Oh my most gentle Hand!

Reveal Yourself to me
Reveal Yourself to me
Reveal Yourself to me
Only when I’m good and ready

Sometimes, we don't get "good and ready" UNTIL H reveals Himself to us.....???

Yes, by the Grace of God and in His infinite wisdom, that order happens too. However, most of the time it’s the painstaking process of removing ourselves (our egos) first, in order to let Him do everything else. We must decrease and He must increase. But, if we go by TULIP, the “U” argues otherwise. Being an Orthodox Christian, I don’t quite see it that way.
