Blessed Eyes

SCRIPTURE

Luke 10:21-24 (NRSV)
Blessed are the eyes that see what you see

At that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."

Then turning to the disciples, Jesus said to them privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it."

BLESSED EYES

Blessed are my eyes
for the see you
Blessed are my ears
for the hear you
In
and amongst
a deaf
and blind
people
I have abilities
others
only dream of...

I see you
High and lifted up
I hear you
wise words
eternal WORD
made flesh
dwelling amongst us

I see you
arms outstretched
in love
to humanity
I hear you
calling...
calling...
saying, "whosoever will"
Let her come.

Blessed are my eyes
for they see you
Blessed are my ears
for they hear you
In
and amongst
a deaf
and blind
people
I must be hope
Be help
Be sound
Be sight
Translating...

This I see
This I hear
This I know

and we believe...
