hi..I am Jereme Watson...the band is just me
Story behind the song
the Lord had blessed me with a few chords going through my head...i as in the shower and the Lord gave me the thought of Paul of "blinded to see"...i asked the Lord while while reading scripture that morning to confirm if He wanted this for a song...as i looked at my songwriting notes the first line of the page i had jotted a note from a recent service of "Do you ask God to give light to your blind eyes?"... that night while reading scripture the Lord gave this song...
Lyrics
Behold The Light
verse one
As Jesus came down from the city Jericho
Bartimaeus sat begging by the road
When he heard that it was Jesus, he started to cry
Son of David, have mercy on me
Oh, they told him to be quiet
But he shouted all the more
Jesus called for him and asked of him..
What would you have be done?
The blind man said to Jesus...
Oh, I would that I could see
Now Praise the Lord,I see the light
My faith made me whole
verse two
There was another blind man on Damascus road
Saul of Tarus, he was blind in his soul
A light from heaven came down
And he fell to the ground
Jesus met him there while going on his way
Oh,they led him to the city,
There he waited on the Lord
Jesus said He had a plam for him
To suffer for His name
When Ananias prayed for him
He saw the light again
At once he went forth preaching Him,
Your faith will make you whole
verse three
Like Paul and Bartimaeus I went down the same road
I was blind in my soul to the light
Then I heard about Jesus and I started to cry
Son of David, have mercy on me
Oh, He saved my soul,your faith has made you whole
But doubt and unbelief still lurked
And came and took control
Like John the Baptist sending them,
At times I'd ask the Lord
Are You the One who was to come
And this is what He said...
chorus one
I am the Light, I give new life
Good news I bring to you right now,
Behold the Light!!
Oh, the blinded eyes are opening,
The lame are walking now
The deaf are hearing and the dumb are talking
And the dead are dead no more
‘Cause I am the resurrection
And I give to you new life
Jus open your heart and believe right now
And behold the Light
chorus two
What's that I hear? I look towards the eastern sky
From the clouds the trumpet of God I hear
It's my Lord on high!!!
From their graves the saints are rising
And I believe I'm changing now
I’m excited you see, ‘cause I see the Light
And my feet are leaving the ground
Now grave you have no victory
And death you have no sting
All thanks be to God for the victory
Through Jesus Christ my King!!!
tag
I am the Light,I give new life
Good news I bring to you right now
Behold the Light!!!
Thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ for the words and confirmation by his sweet Holy Spirit
He gave: Blinded to see….and confirmed with…do you ask your God to give light to your blind eyes
