The Unblinding of My Heart

Christ Je-sus heals-
The young man’s blind eyes
To let- him gaze-
Into HIS own eyes
The Sa-vior heals-
OUR spiritual sight
To let- us see-
His bright guiding light

Messi-ah heals-
Our blind eyes to roam
This earth-
In light of our heavenly home
And time-
In light of eternity-
Our lives-
In light of our destiny-

When I- was young-
Christ mudded my eyes
He smeared- it well-
And told me to rise

I washed- and SAW-
“But when?” you might say
He healed- my sight-
At baptism day
