Blind to His Presence

All law, all prophecy
abiding in fulfillment
standing on the land
promised by the Lord

God himself with us
on this mortal coil
descended from heaven
that we would be restored

Yet the people blind
unable to see their joy
the prince of heaven
standing in their midst

Blind to his presence
grace alive with them
love become a man
to heal the ancient breach
