With the beard and the eyes of our Saviour—
At least they looked like that to me.
He had taught me a wonderful lesson,
The burden a Christian could bear,
Who from out the dark caverns of blindness
Saw only the things that were fair.
And I asked my dear Father forgiveness,
My fetters of sin to unbind,
That he’d make me to see like that beggar,
For I was the one who was blind.
