BLIND BARTIMAEUS STOOD ON THE WAY

In my God’s Bible, the Word proclaims

that Christ went healing

the crippled and the lame.

He gave to the poor and the needy bread,

healing the sick and raising the dead.

And then when He came to Galilee,

He passed by a man that could not see.

Well, the man was blind, he was blind from birth.

They tell me that his name was Blind Bartimaeus.

When Bartimaeus heard the Lord was nigh,

he fell on his knees and began to crying,

O thou man of Galilee, cryin’ Great God Almighty, have mercy on me.

Cryin’ O Lord (Mary's baby),

O Lord (Son of David),

O Lord (Bleeding Lamb),

O my Lord from in Bethlehem.

Then my Lord He stopped and He turned around,

and He saw Blind Bartimaeus on the ground.

And He touched his eyes

with the palm of His hand,

Blind Bartimaeus saw like a natural man.

Then he cried Thank God,

Thank God (Mary's baby),

Thank God (Son of David),

Thank God (Bleeding Lamb),

O my Lord from in Bethlehem.
