I was blind I could not see
A boy tries hard to be a man His mother takes him by the hand |
He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?” Mark 8:23 NIV
He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!” John 9:25 NIV Jesus said, “For judgment I have come come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.” John 9:39 NIV Jesus: “He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.” John 12:40 KJV |
A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by the hand If he stops to think, he starts to cry oh why?... I will follow |
Jesus: “Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go... Follow me!” John 21:18-19 NIV
“As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you...” Isaiah 66:13 NIV |
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, away I will follow |
As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” ... Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.” Luke 9:57-61 NIV
But Ruth said, “Do not plead with me to leave you or to turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you sleep, I will sleep.” Ruth 1:16 NASB |
I was lost, I am found
|
Jesus: “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.” Luke 15:22-24 NIV

Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there Your eyes, your eyes Your eyes, your eyes |
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. ... Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:13-16 NIV

#Bono: “The truth is that the enduring appeal of that song is truly not as nihilistic as a suicide note. In its sound or its state of mind it’s a song about a mother’s love. A song about unconditional love. AGAPE LOVE. ETERNAL LOVE.” #Surrender, “I Will Follow” pic.twitter.com/Zf6LSSIvUs

#Bono: “What few readers pick up is the description of THE GOOD FATHER, who is not at home waiting for the return of the prodigal but instead is out in the farthest field looking and longing for him. MORE LIKELY THE MOTHER.” #Surrender, “I Will Follow” (Luke 15:20) pic.twitter.com/LGTaT3w9ti
