...as for this fellow, we know not from whence He is!
John 9:29
Do we listen when He asks us
To trust Him implicitly
Have we been struck blind, to see?
Have we committed to follow
Jesus; to 'fight the good fight'
Or do His precepts ring hollow
Because we still walk by sight
Satisfy our cup of grief
Does faith's Canaan-land implore us
To guard against unbelief
Has our stubborn will been broken
As we looked on Calvary
Have we echoed Wonder spoken
'I was blind but now I see'
Has 'this fellow' been revealed;
He whose blood-bought pardon frees us
He, by whose wounds we are healed
Is 'this fellow' our Saviour?
Has transformation begun?
Turning sight-governed behaviour
Into faith's 'Thy will be done'
Has Belief sight's barrier broken
By 'this fellow' humbly/wholly awed
Have our eyes of faith been opened
To behold the Son of God
Dear, once-blind-but-now-I-see-man
Keep your courage undeterred
You will not fall prey to man's plan
Through the keeping of His Word
Janet Martin
John 9:25
He answered and said, “Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know.
One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
