Blind to Our Lord – v4

The sons of Jacob, of Israel,
our older brothers
our Jewish brethren
their hearts hardened;
Unable to believe Your Word
not able to see Jesus
standing right before them
blind to our Lord
the long-promised Messiah

The daughters of Rachel
our older sisters
unable to hear Your call
to believe the signs before them;
Not believing the disciples
those who would follow
not seeing Christ
blind to our Lord
the long-promised Savior

May their eyes be opened
all of Israel’s children
all of the children of Abraham
each sister, each brother;
May they see our Savior,
May their hearts be filled with blessings
with God’s love to share
now that they see Christ
