For a Work of God

© 4-25-07

    Just as the man born blind,
      Whom others wondered if he had sinned,
    Jesus, You worked, as One kind,
      The works of God, all for him;

    Does Your child exist to show
      The work of God revealed in them?
    With You above, and them below,
      Let grace flow down, once again;

    All without and within,
      Are all things within Your hand;
    As You forgive of all our sin,
      Work a great work by Your command;

    You do this all for Your glory,
      Which is also our benefit;
    Add Your work to this one’s story,
      How You brought her through it;

    Let all see the God with her,
      Through the work that You bring;
    In their hearts, make them sure,
      And cause them all, of You, to sing.

    For DebiLynn

Author notes

“Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’ Jesus answered, ‘Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.’”—John 9:1-3
