Mark 10:46-52
They came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stood still and said, “Call him here.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart; get up, he is calling you.” So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. Then Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “My teacher, let me see again.” Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.
He was blind when he called out to Christ
with a faith that believed he would see
and Jesus said to the sighted
tell him to come here beside me.
He didn’t slowly stumble to Jesus
but jumped up and came on a run
believing that Jesus could heal him
because he thought he was God’s Son.
When his eyes began being restored
and he saw everything on the way
he followed Jesus the rest of his life
and never would his faith let him stray.

I wish He were here right now
Before him, I'd surely bow
And ask Him this one thing -
To save me and let me sing.
