blind man

I call this the blind man song. It's really called "Please Don't Pass Me By," by Fred Hammond. I said I wasn't going to post the lyrics, because everyone should hear this song, in my opinon. However, I changed my mind. If you didn't have the chance to hear this song, please enjoy the words:

"There was a blind man on the road side, and he heard a commotion yeah
It was Jesus passing by with a crowd and it stirred his emotions
He'd been displaced his whole life, should he even try
Ohhhhh
Don't bother Jesus (they say you have nothing)
You have nothing to offer (stay in your place)
Right then he knew (he had to choose)
He had nothing to lose
So he cried Jesus (Jesus), I need you, (yeah ah) please don't pass me by
He cried out Jesus, I'm not ashamed (to tell you) I need you in my life
(I need you in my life yeah)

I'm not much different from that man, and this is the honest truth
Could this sinful one, with this messed up life, could I ever serve you
(Oh oh oh oh) people and things clutter my mind, should I even try
Ohhhhhh
Don't bother Jesus (they say you have nothing)
You have nothing to offer (stay in your place)
I must admit (when I think about it all)
I need you in my life
So I cry Jesus (Jesus), I need you
Please don't pass me by
I'm crying out Jesus, I'm not ashamed to tell you I need you in my life

As the deer (as the deer panted)
Thirsty for the water yeah (thirsty for the water)
My soul desires and longs to be (to be with you)
Jesus, I need you, please don't pass me by
I don't mean to waste your time but I can't listen to the crowd,
situations in my life telling me to keep it down
but I need you
I know I'm broken, but you can heal me, Jesus, Jesus I'm calling you
(I might not be worth much) might not be worth much, but I'm still willing
Jesus, Jesus, I'm calling you"

Also, please pray for our gospel choir tour! We leave Wednesday (March 12-21). Our desire is to see the nine non-Christians accept Jesus into their hearts. We also hope to bless people in Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, and Yokohama as we sing!

Ready Post Mailing Carton




I think my new favorite words are "Priority Mail". My family just sent me love in a box.

This week was great too, hanging out a lot with other STINTers, staff, and students!
