<title>As the blind man</title>
<lyrics>[V1]
 When I found my life
 Slipping away
 You found me in a corner
 And raised my soul

[V2]
 Just one thing I know
 I was blind and now I see
 I know Your name, Emmanuel

[V3]
 The more I tried to make it
 And wanted to live on my own
 The more I tapped my own nail
 Into Your hands

[V4]
 Just one thing I know
 I was blind and now I see
 I know Your name, Emmanuel

[V5]
 No matter what the world can say
 About my story
 People can really hurt you,
 Hunting for your soul
 And even if my friends
 Can put me aside
 I'm a new creation in Your sight

[V6]
 Many things are running
 Into my head everyday
 And when I get confused
 I can always rely on this:

[V7]
 Just one thing I know
 I was blind and now I see
 I know Your name, Emmanuel

[V8]
 When they say I'm a loser
 You say that I'm more than a conqueror.
 That's the reason why
 I can shout as the blind man:

[V9]
 Just one thing I know
 I was blind and now I see
 I know Your name, Emmanuel

[V10]
 No matter what the world can say
 About my story
 People can really hurt you,
 Hunting for your soul
 And even if my friends
 Can put me aside
 I'm a new creation in Your sight</lyrics>
