The Man Born Blind
There once was a man like you and me
But when he was born he could not see
Many people blamed his unseeing on his parents, himself, and sin
But for the glory of God this blindness had been
His clothes were worn out and his condition wasn’t the best
He laid on the dirt when it was time to rest
He sat in the corner out of everyone’s way
“He is nothing”, all the Pharisees would say
He only wished to have precious eyes
To observe God’s creation and see the beautiful skies
But one day he heard of the coming of the Beloved son
Compared to other’s voices, Jesus’ voice was a special one
Starved and half naked the man sent out his request
“Oh Lord let me see like all the rest”
The Saviour turned to see the man
Showing love and compassion Christ stretched out His hand
Jesus took a little bit of mud and mixed it with His spit
And creating new eyes He pasted it
“Go wash it in the pool of Siloam and close your eyelids tight”
So the man washed it off and immediately he gained his sight
Those who saw him at the time that he was blind
Were stunned that the man could see, and eyes they could find
Several asked, “What happened to you, how can you see?”
The man replied, “It is Jesus who healed me.”
We are all blind like this man
But God heals our spiritual illness and allows us to see His plan
According to our faith we are made whole
Seeing Christ and reaching heaven should be our ultimate goal
