Don Francisco Since I Met Him
Now it's hard to describe what my life used to be
To someone who's always been able to see
You know I wasn't unhappy or bitter that way
But everything's changed since I met Him that day
I was down at the corner just passing the time
Sitting in the sunlight and feeling it shine
When the sound of a crowd began 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 He smeared it around
Sent 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 awhile
And when, at the end, I defended the man
Who had opened my eyes, the troubles began
I said "Ever since the beginning of time
No one's opened the eyes of someone born blind
This man's sent from God, it 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 as soon as He spoke to me I couldn't hide
The emotion that welled up from deep down inside
And combined in the dreams that He 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 call Him my Lord and my savior
For everything He's done for me
Yesterday I was in darkness
But since I met Him
Since I met Him
Since I met Him I can see
Since I met Him, Messiah
Since I met Him, Messiah
Since I met Him I can see
