about

Blindness – it’s physically debilitating, emotionally devastating, and spiritually impeding. In modern society, the most common symptoms are in the emotional and spiritual realm. Still, we know that, at the merciful touch of Jesus no situation is ever hopeless. As we, in obedience to His command, go in His name the blind will receive their sight, and those that now walk in darkness will see the Light of the World shining in and though us.

lyrics

The sun warms my shoulders, the birds sing above
But I sit in the darkness away from Your love
There’s people around me – but they pass me by
Too busy with living to hear my heart’s cry

They tell me You’re passing – I call out Your name
It’s my desperate moment to be rid of the shame
I say when You ask me what I want You to do
“Won’t You open my eyes Lord – I want to see You”

There’s some who would hinder the cry of my soul
Embarrassed by weakness – I’m confined to my role
You stop what You’re doing and call out to me
One touch from the Healer and then I can see

You’ve taken my darkness and turned it to light
Corrected what’s wrong and made everything right
The past doesn’t matter – and all I’ve been through
Just serves to remind me – I want to see You

My friends and my family don’t want to believe
The hope and the mercy that I could receive
But there’s no denying the changes in me
Once bound by the darkness – but now I am free

Lord I want to serve you whatever the cost
A beacon of hope to a world that is lost
Though life’s so uncertain I know You’ll be true
And show me the Way when I need to see You
