Listen to the blind man’s story,
of how he came to see:
“There I was, sitting alone again
Without any friend.
On the street so hard,
In my world so very dark.
Till one day, a man came.
I did not even know his name.
He asked if I’d like to see,
Of course I would, so he healed me.
Some accused him of blasphemy, but I believed.
When I told him so,
He beckoned me to follow.”
Come – is all that was spoken.
Come – witness the heavens open.
Come – obey this command,
Soon you will understand.
Come – knock on the door.
Come -blessings are in store.
Come to me,
Miracles you will see.
Listen as Peter tells his story,
of a time in Galilee:
“One night my friend stayed while the rest pressed on,
And just before dawn,
Someone pointed out to sea,
Where a ghost walked gracefully.
But as I looked again,
It wasn’t a ghost, but my good friend.
And he spoke to us, ‘Be of good cheer,’
he comforted us all, ‘do not fear.’
My voice was soft, I wasn’t sure he’d hear,
I asked, ‘Lord, bid me to come near.’
He extended his hand,
And said a simple command:”
Come – is all that was spoken.
Come – witness the heavens open.
Come – obey this command,
soon you will understand.
Come – knock on the door.
Come – blessings are in store.
Come to me,
Miracles you will see.
“I walked boldly till I looked away to the sea.
As I sank into the cold water, I cried, “Lord, save me!”
I cannot tell you, there is no word to describe,
how warm his hand felt, as he pulled me to his side.
I looked at him, no more casting my eyes about.
‘O ye of little faith,’ he said, ‘why did you doubt?’
Listen to the last story,
Of anyone it can be:
“It always seems, I stand alone here,
Wishing a friend near.
But loneliness, my true friend,
has found me once again.
My heart feels like it will tear,
Till I finally kneel in prayer.
The answer comes, ‘Be of good cheer.
I the Lord am with you, do not fear.
I know your name, you are not alone.
Through this, faith’s seed is sown.
But first you must pass the test,
then your heart will know rest.’
Come – is all that is spoken.
Come – witness the heavens open.
Come – obey this command,
Soon you will understand
Where I come from.
Come – knock on the door.
Come – blessings are in store.
Come to me,
miracles you will see,
if you will but come.
