BLINDED BY THE LIGHT song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

on the road to Damascus
on the road to Damascus
on the road to Damascus
Paul saw the light

Saul of Tarsus, a Roman and Jew
a man who was enemy of chosen few
a man who had witnessed the stoning of Stephen
and stood against him unbereaven

a man who was enemy to children of Jesus
who he had done harm and spoke ill against them
on the road to Damascus his life turned around
a light shone from Heaven he fell to the ground

he was blinded by the light
blinded by the light
for three days and three holy nights
blinded by the light

he heard a voice saying, Saul, Saul,
why do you persecute Me?
and Saul said, Who are you Lord who?
I do not know you, I can not see

and the voice said I am Jesus it's true
and spoke to him out of love and with pity
Paul said What do you want me to do?
and Jesus said Rise and preach in the city

and all the men round him were speechless and dumb
for they heard the voice but they saw no one
they took him in hand for Paul had been blinded
where he had to do what must be done

the scales had fallen from his eyes
his life before had been nothing but lies
the rest of his days he theologized
and his words were wise, oh so very wise

he was blinded by the light
blinded by the light
for three days and three holy nights
blinded by the light

although you may see you live in the dark
but deep in your soul you may see a spark
don't look away don't even try
just open open open your eyes

and be blinded by the light
blinded by the light
for God is glorious even if sight
is blinded by the light
