John 9:39       New English Translation

39 Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may gain their sight, and the ones who see may become blind.”

 

Figure it out. Really?

 

What is good and what is evil. Is that not a simple question?

Is nothing terrible of itself, and is that well understood?

It is not bad, and it isn’t good brought some to the foreground

Yes, life is like a wave, going up and down primarily for our good

 

Stability on a moving ship in hanging on to the mast

Hoping your hands will hold as your feet slide to and fro

The maker of the boat and the captain is on board

Are not too important as the One Who makes the water flow

 

Rock of Ages, what a place, to stand on Him secured

As the storms are soaring and time loses its call

What about the souls of the ones who are in the water?

They crash into the rocky shore. Will they see the Rock at all?

 

Aren’t we supposed to be the light when we stand on the Rock?

Aren’t we to show the way as dangers grow and move?

Upon everyone who’s drowning as we stand untouched

For we have the deep assurance and that “our” Rock will prove

 

Reach out with a helping hand to the desperate
