Bartimeus

Lyrics

[INTRO] When the road bends out of Jericho, the wind carries a story, A whisper on the dirt, a plea in a weary heart. [VERSE 1] A man sits by the path, eyes closed in the dust, His name is Bartimaeus, and his hope is a rust. The city fades, the crowd moves ahead, But a voice from the horizon calls his name. He shouts, “Son of David, mercy, hear my cry!” Hands in the air, the crowd says, “Let it die.” The words keep echoing, a thunder in the night, The blind man lifts his voice, defiant, bold, and bright. [CHORUS] “Call him!” the Savior said, “Come, step into the light.” He drops his cloak, the faith that he carries tight. From darkness to daylight, the world rewrites its sight, All that we need is to believe, to fight the fight. [VERSE 2] He stands and follows, his heart a trembling drum, Every step toward the promise, every beat, every hum. “Tell me what you want,” Jesus asks, eyes kind, “Just to see the world,” he says, “and be left behind.” Jesus smiles, “Go, your faith is all you need.” The world swirls, the wind hushes, the future's seed. Instantly, his sight blooms, a thousand colors awake, The blind man now sees the path, no more heartache. [CHORUS] “Call him!” the Savior said, “Come, step into the light.” He drops his cloak, the faith that he carries tight. From darkness to daylight, the world rewrites its sight, All that we need is to believe, to fight the fight. [BRIDGE] On the road of hope, we’re all travelers, Seeking vision in the shadows, searching for the altar. When the world turns to stone, let faith be the key, And the love that lifts you up will set you free. [HOOK] Jesus, Son of David, let me see
