I came here to find the lyrics and music to this same song. I see him said the blind man, like ive never been before. I'm not sure what it was called officially. I have searched YouTube and the companies that make the accompany sound tracks for hours the past 2 days and I cannot find where anyone recorded this to have the music. Does anyone know? The Shenandoah Valley Gospel Singers would come to our church in Winchester area and sing every year and my mom bought their tapes. This song was so powerful and touching. I wish I had those tapes so bad. I can't believe the song is just gone from the world now. Someone has to have it. I would love to sing it in church. Can anyone help? Love to all of you!

That is the song! Thank you so much! Blessings through Christ our Lord.

This may be what you are looking for:
Title Now I'm close to Jesus
A certain man who was blind and he long to see Jesus but it seemed that he was always pushed aside then jesus came by and he called unto him Master for the first time he opened up his eyes
chorus;
I see him said the blind man I see him said the blind man now they won't have to lead me anymore I had a talk with Jesus and he laid his hands down on me and now I'm close to Jesus like I've never been before

There was another who was lame and he begged to see Jesus for he knew that Jesus Christ would make him whole, but the crowd was all around him yet someway he must get to him so they raise that old rooftop and let him down.
Chorus2:
I see him said the Cripple I see him said the cripple now they won't have to carry me anymore I had a talk with Jesus and he laid his hands down on me and now I'm close to Jesus like I've never been before.

Hope this helps I did it from memory and it has been years since I sang it.

I would really like these lyrics. Can anyone help?

I need the lyrics to the song "I See Said The Blind Man". I'm not even for sure if that is the title actually. The verse says something to the effect of:

Verse 1
There was a certain man who was blind from birth

Chorus
I see said the blind man,
I see said the blind man,
And now I'm closer than I've ever been before

Verse 2 is about the cripple man who was lowered through the roof for his healing.

Can anyone help me????????//
