No light only the darkest shades

No light, only the darkest shades.
No colours, just blackness pervades.
There's no movement of any kind.
I cannot see for I am blind.

Blind from the moment of birth was I
and blind I'll be until I die.
Never to see the sun shine bright.
Never to see a picturesque sight.

I’ll never see my fellow man.
Only to touch and never scan.
Condemned to beg for daily bread.
I'll not see less even when I'm dead.

Then I heard an exciting sound.
Jesus Christ was coming around.
The Son of God was passing by.
'Have mercy on me,’ was my cry.

He said 'What do you want from Me? '
'Lord,’ I replied, ’I want to see.'
How He did it I do not know,
but He just told me I could go.

Then light entered these eyes of mine,
and I could see for the first time.
What manner of man can give sight
to a man who saw only night?
