Jesus Em Jericó

How long did that man wait to see?
How long did he walk without seeing?
How many times did he need someone to guide him?
How many times did he go, go, but didn't know how to return?

How many times did he murmur to God?
How many times did he ask: Lord, make me see?
How many times did he cry, under the weight of his cross?
How long did he stay without seeing the light?

When he heard that Jesus
Performed miracles in Capernaum
Giving sight to the blind, healing the sick
No one was left unblessed

He heard that also in Nain
Jesus resurrected the widow's son
He also resurrected Jairus' daughter
He healed ten lepers in a village

And it was then that the blind man
Moved by faith, wanted to see Jesus
By the side of a road, sadly begging
He also heard that Jesus was going to pass by there
Because Jesus was already in Jericho
And suddenly he heard a noise
He asked what it was, someone told him it's Jesus
Who is passing by, healing and saving
The blind man said: It's now
That I will see

Son of David, have mercy!
Have mercy, Son of David!
Son of David, have mercy
Have mercy on me!

Son of David, have mercy!
Have mercy, Son of David!
Son of David, have mercy
Have mercy on me!

(Hallelujah!)

And Jesus heard him
(Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!)
And stopped the crowd
And they brought Bartimaeus to Jesus
And Jesus asked: (What do you want me to do for you?)

(Lord, I want to see)
(And Jesus said): (Then see!)
Bartimaeus soon saw and rejoiced greatly
Because he saw for the first time the face of the Savior
