Through The Eyes Of A Blind Man-Porter Wagoner

I'd've always thought I'd see a lotta thoughtful things in life Until a blind man showed me something That was more beautiful than anything I'd ever seen One morning I was standing on a street corner waitin' for a bus When I heard the tap of a cane The he walked up beside me lookin' straight ahead through dark glasses And his Bible of braille in his hands He said good morning sir in a voice that was soft and kind It sorta startled me for a moment for I had no idea that he knew I was there For I hadn't made a sound Then I spoke to him and started conversation I said are you waitin' for a bus He said yes sir I'm goin' out to the college campus to give a lecture on Jesus Would you like to go with me he said with the smile you might enjoy yourself Although I'm not the world's greatest speaker My subject is of a man that's so different from any moments I guess it was curiosity that caused me to go or maybe this strange look about him But in a short time I found myself on a college campus Seated with the students at the jam The room was as still as inside of a tomb As he walked toward the podium in the middle of the room Then he opened his Bible and put his hands on a braille As though he was touching the hands of God And said God help these people to see what I have seen Show 'em the right path to trod Let 'em look to my eyes and see the love of Jesus for them And those that were there at the campus that morning Saw Jesus through the eyes of that blind man
