Blind Bartimeus
while sitting by the wayside
Loudly implored the
Lord, the Son of David,
To give him sight,
the blessing He was craving:
When he was healed
children began proclaiming
The Son of David
who came as King and Saviour.
The Pharisees
averse to their displacement
Rejected Him for
them and for the nation.
But God had promised
that there would be no failure
Of David’s throne
- so Jesus is awaiting
The time when Israel
will gain salvation;
Meanwhile we
Gentiles who have no rights by nature
Acquire our blessing
through Israel’s betrayal.
