Begging Blind

Mark 10: 51-52 (HCSB)  Jesus answered him, “What do you want Me to do for you? ” “Rabbouni,”the blind man told Him, “I want to see! ” 52 “Go your way,” Jesus told him. “Your faith has healed you.” Immediately he could see and began to follow Him on the road.


Lord, I want to see. Be blind no more.
I want to see the hurt, under the hate.
I want to see love being found.
I want to see hearts being freed.


Lord, I want to see. Be blind no more.
I want to be free of planks and slivers.
I want to see grace flowing and moving.
I want to see hearts changing now.


Lord, I want to see. Be blind no more.
I want to see past my own hurt and fear.
I want to see love coming and going.
I want to see a glimpse of Your glory.


Lord, I want to see. Be blind no more.
I want to see the blessings, not the mess.
I want to see the joy overflowing too!
I want to see my heart in Your hands.


Lord, I want to see. Be blind no more.
I want to see the blessing in a failure.
I want to see the promise of heaven.
I want to see You, in the great and small.


Lord, I want to see. Be blind no more.


Sometimes when we want to talk, God asks us to sing. When we want to teach a lesson, He gives us poetry.  Be brightly blessed, always and in all ways.

  3. Oh to see as He sees.... This is simply, elegantly, worshipfully, honestly beautiful. I can almost hear its melody, and even some harmonies.
