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.
