2. All the people were confused-
when they heard about the news.
They said, “blind you’ve been for life.
How then did thee gain thy sight?”
He said, “Jesus—it was He.
He made mud, I washed, now see.”
Then the Pharisees complained,
though the miracle was plain.
“This man’s not from God,” they claimed,
“For the Sabbath He’s profaned.”
They were blind from sin; they could not see.

3. The man’s parents then were called-
and were asked to recount all.
They confessed he was their son,
but knew not what Christ had done.
They said, “ask him; let him tell.
he’s of age and can speak well.”
So they summoned him once more.
said, “This Man’s a sinner sure.”
He said, “whether He has blame,
I know not, but this is plain:
though I once was blind, I now can see!”

4. Still the Pharisees did rail,
asked him to repeat his tale.
Said, “his foll’wer you’ve become,
though we don’t know where he’s from.”
He replied, “if not from God,
this man could not do such good.”
Then they drove him from that place.
Jesus found him in disgrace.
Said, “The Son of Man now speaks;
ye have seen Him; now believe.”
He said, “I believe; Lord, I believe!”

5. Jesus came to judge the earth-
and show sin for what it’s worth.
As He gave the blind man sight,
He can cleanse us by His might.
But we must admit we’re blind,
or His healing we’ll not find.
If we claim that we can see,
we will ever guilty be.
But when we in Him obey,
He will then our guilt relieve.
We’ll be blind no more when we believe!
