Now it's hard to describe what my life use to be
To someone who's always been able to see
Though I wasn't unhappy or bitter that way
But everything's changed since I met Him that day
I was down by the corner just passing the time
Sitting in sunlight and feeling it shine
When the sound of a crowd begin to grow in my ear
So I waited and I listened as I heard them draw near
Then a man stepped up to me and He spat on the ground
He put the mud on my eyes and then smeared it around
Set me off to Siloam to wash off the clay
And I opened my eyes and I looked at the day!
And I have no idea how He did it
I just know what happened to me
Yesterday I was in darkness
But since I met Him, I can see
When the pharisees heard it, they put me on trial
Even called in my parents and grilled them a while
And when at the end I defended the man
Who had opened my eyes, all the trouble begin
I said ever since the beginning of time
No one's opened the eyes of someone born blind
This man sent from God just can't be denied
And they cursed me, and grabbed me, and threw me outside
I really don't know how He found me
I just know He was talking to me
It was easy to tell by the sound of His voice
He was the reason I see
And soon as He spoke to me, I couldn't hide
The emotions that welled up from deep down inside
And combined with the dreams that He'd made to come true
To kneel there and worship was all I could do
And I called Him my Lord and Messiah
For everything He'd done for me
Yesterday I was in darkness
But since I met Him, I can see
And I called Him my Lord and Messiah
For everything He's done for me
Yesterday I was in darkness
But since I met Him,
But since I met Him,
Since I met Him, I can see
Since I met Him (Messiah)
Since I met Him (Messaih)
Since I met Him, I can see
