The Greatest Gift Of All

Inspired by a sermon in church.

V1 Be it the picture in your television
Or just the people out in the street
Color or Black & White don’t matter to him
He can’t tell the difference at all
He can’t tell the difference at all

V2 His friends don’t agree with his notion of beauty
Beauty’s in the soul, not skin-deep
So they say he’s a sensitive philosopher
Shedding light so others may see
Shedding light so others may see

V3 The World is an illusion, he says
Blinding everyone, concealing the truth
Making you believe what you think you’re seeing
And seeing what you want to believe is the truth
Believe in what you think is the right thing, he says
And see that you do what is right
And see that you do what is right

CH White cane in hand
His blind eyes covered
With the dark glasses, they make him wear
Day & Night
He is happy for his fellowmen
They have the great gift of sight
And thankful for the greatest gift of them all
The God-given gift of Insight
The God-given gift of Insight
