Blind to the Blessings

"Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee: and let such as love Thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified" (Psalm 70:4).  "Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things" (Proverbs 28:5).  "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.  Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing" (Isaiah 35:5,6).  "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not" (2 Corinthians 4:3,4).

Let everyone who seeks the Lord

Rejoice in Jesus Christ our Savior!

Let Him forever be adored

Who gave Himself to grant us favor! 

Though evil men don't understand

The judgment that their sins require,

The Lord will lead them with His hand

If they repent with true desire.  

The Lord shall open then their eyes

And God shall then unstop their ears

To give a mouth that magnifies

The Lord who heals and who cheers. 

How sadly is our Gospel hid

To those preferring to be lost.

In spite of all our Savior did,

The blind refuse to count the cost.

We thank You, Lord, for all You gave,

Enduring judgment in our place

That You might bless the souls You save

With heaven's wondrous, costly grace. 

Lord, we who also once were blind 

Now see because You gave us sight

To ponder love and life we find

With endless blessings in Your light!
