A Song for Bartimaeus

Sightless and useless in the eyes of many,

pushed to the edges of a people’s notice,

one yet has courage, and will not keep silent,

calling to Jesus.


Hearing the one cry raised above the many,

sensing a quick soul slowed by the unseeing,

bearing compassion and the hope of wholeness,

Jesus comes nearer.


Touched by God’s goodness, one among the many

gains understanding and the gift of vision,

and with a wide world bright and undiscovered,

one follows Jesus.


Suggested tune: Bickford
