lyrics

A blind man walked down Damascus way
I said, Saul, what happened on the road today?
You had vowed to kill every saint in sight
He said, Someone proved me wrong
Now I have to prove Him right

A fisherman walked slowly up to Rome
I said, Simon, you’re better off safe at home
After all, you claimed to never know the man
He said, That’s exactly why
I’m going, and I’m glad

And how could I refuse Him?
If I left Him I would lose Him
And where He is is where I want to be

A tax collector walked a Nazareth lane
I said, Levi, I think you’re going the wrong way
And you left your silver and gold behind
He said, Someone gave to me
Riches far greater than these

A man walked off to far India
I said, Thomas, you didn’t believe at all
What makes you think they’re going to listen to you?
He said, with my own two hands
I learned what He can do

And how could I refuse Him?
If I left Him I might lose sight of Him
And where He is is where I’m going to be

One day I walked down an Appleton road
The westering sun turned the clouds to gold
And I thought of those men who did as they were told

I wondered if I ever could do as they
Could I have such faith to give my life away?
And walk any road He chose for me today?

I hope so
And I know
That I will not refuse Him
And I’m never going to lose Him
And where He is is where you will find me
