You gave me blindness
When I asked for sight;
I asked for a voice,
But you made me mute;
I asked for hearing,
But you gave me deafness;
You gave me sorrow,
When I asked for joy;
I asked for healing,
You gave me pain;
Then I asked for relief,
You said you’ll give it tomorrow.
That I may be the eyes to the blind,
The voice for the mute;
The ear for the deaf,
The smile for the sad,
And the healer to the hurt.
That I may feel the world of night,
Speak the voice of quietness;
Hear the sound of silence,
To experience the sadness;
And to break with pain,
With heaviness of the heart.
