About this song
A journey begun in certainty and hostility is interrupted by a light the traveler cannot command. The song traces conversion as a profound change of sight, turning the persecutor toward the very name he had opposed.
Lyrics
INTRO
(soft piano)
VERSE 1
I was breathing threats and murder,
Letters folded in my hand,
Sure that I was serving heaven
As I rode across the land.
Then a light flashed out of glory,
Brighter than the noonday sun,
And I fell down in the roadway
At the voice of the Holy One.
PRE-CHORUS
"Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?"
"Who are You, Lord?"
"I am Jesus."
CHORUS
And the scales fell from my eyes,
I was blind but now I see;
The One I hunted down
Had been hunting after me.
Chosen vessel of His mercy,
Carry now His name abroad;
The scales fell from my eyes,
And I saw the Son of God.
VERSE 2
Three days dark and without water,
I was praying, I was undone;
Then a trembling man named Ananias
Came because the Lord said, "Go."
"Brother Saul," he spoke so gently,
Laid his hands upon my head;
I arose and was baptized there,
And I took the living bread.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
The enemy became a brother,
The hunter became the hunted's friend;
Grace that turns the worst of sinners
Can turn any heart again.
At Joppa, Dorcas rises,
At Lydda, Aeneas stands;
The church has peace and grows in comfort,
Led by the Spirit's hand.
FINAL CHORUS
(full band)
OUTRO
I saw the Son of God.
