Through The Eyes Of A Blind Man Lyrics - 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
