Blind

 Blind

All my life

Darkness is all I see

Lately I hear there is a Rabbi from Galilee

Who can also heal

Him and His disciples walked past

A conversation

Suddenly mud on my eyes

His compassionate, gentle hands on my face

An order to go and wash in the pool of Siloam

I go

At the pool I bend down

Cold fresh spring water on my muddied face

and I wash off the holy mud

Suddenly the skies above me are blue

no more darkness

This Rabbi must be the Messiah

His words are true

By grace I can see

In more ways than one

I can see life around me

and the promised Messiah in front of me

Whereas the Pharisees had sight in their eyes

but refused to see the Galilean Rabbi

For Who He is.... The Sent Messiah

Lord, grant them grace too that they might see

and not live life in the darkness of soul
