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 by the corner
Just passing the time
Sitting in the sunlight
And feeling it shine
When the sounds 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 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
All the trouble 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 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 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
