For mysteries did hide from me<\/p>\n
As blind I was before<\/p>\n
But then reborn that I might see<\/p>\n
And faith\u2014 they then restore<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tears did drench mine eyes<\/p>\n
Baptized through my pain<\/p>\n
Yet\u2014 it\u2019s then I could realize<\/p>\n
The strength I did contain<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Weakness sought to reign<\/p>\n
Until I could start to see<\/p>\n
That I just might sustain<\/p>\n
With you that lives within me<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My eyes began to wander<\/p>\n
Searching for a key<\/p>\n
Wisdom was my armor<\/p>\n
That second sight gave to me<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Strength was found within the bonds<\/p>\n
Of wisdom that I\u2019ve gained<\/p>\n
Knowledge now responds<\/p>\n
As weakness is restrained<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For all I seem to now know<\/p>\n
What I comprehend<\/p>\n
Is that what\u2019s now below<\/p>\n
Is darkness that I tread<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For with thine light I can see<\/p>\n
Exactly what you intend<\/p>\n
And anything that\u2019s now before me<\/p>\n
Is what I did portend<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For strength and wisdom do now guide<\/p>\n
The steps I seek to take<\/p>\n
As mysteries now do not hide<\/p>\n
But instead are wide awake<\/p>\n
