New Eyes For Christmas
by Don Knoll

I just got new eyes for Christmas.
New lenses for both of my eyes.
A miracle no one can argue.
A Christmas present to prize.

I wasn't washed in Siloam,
O smeared with a spittle of clay,
But God let a man make me new lens.
I can see, like they say, "Plain as day."


Like the man Jesus healed in the Bible
Told others, when happy like me:
I can tell all the scoffers just one thing,
"I was blurred, but now I can see."


The best Christmas present was Jesus
For me just turned 80 in years.
And nothing from stores will bring pleasure
Like sight,- it brings me to tears.


Old age, UV, cataracts, looking,
All added up to my blurred eyes.
But "Who healeth all thy diseases"
Gave this poor sinner this prize.


I thank God for His mercy in Jesus;
At Christmas His story is plain.
It's sung amid major confusion,
But find time to praise Him again.

Retired from farm, industry and office.
