I Saw Messiah
Parody of "The Sign" performed by Ace of Base and written by Jonas Berggren
(Matthew 9:27-31, 11:5, 12:22, 15:30-31, 20:29-30, 21:14; Mark 8:22-23, 10:46-52; Luke 4:18, 7:21-22, 18:35-43; John 8:12, 9:1-41)

Ba-dum-bah-dum oh-oh yeah-eh!

(I) I never knew light
It was always black as night — my eyes were bad
How could a person blindly search for truth?
(Ah) Christ knew my problem and cured what was wrong for me
(Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-oooh)
It's enough to know

I saw Messiah — when He opened up my eyes — I saw Messiah
I've been expanding — in my understanding
I saw Messiah — and He opened up my eyes — I saw Messiah
No one's gonna patch you up
Let Him into your life or move along
(But there, dude, you'd be wrong)

(I) I was so frail, dude
For so many years, I stumbled through the dark
Now that He burst in — I do sing with joy
Others have failed you, and I see a lot of scars
(Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-oooh)
It's been rough, I know

I saw Messiah — when He opened up my eyes — I saw Messiah
Christ is commanding — crippled ones are standing
I saw Messiah — and He opened up my eyes — I saw Messiah
No one's gonna patch you up
Let Him into your life or move along
(But there, dude, you'd be wrong)
Oh oh-oh-oh!

Heee!

Heee!

Heee!

I saw Messiah — when He opened up my eyes
And I am happy now, given I've found truth
And if you grope for hope
I saw Messiah — and He opened up my eyes — I saw Messiah
No one's gonna patch you up
Let Him into your life or move along
(I saw Messiah, I saw Messi-ee-I)
I saw Messiah!
(I saw Messiah, I saw Messi-ee-I)
(I saw Messiah, I saw Messi-ee-I)
I saw Messiah!
And He opened up my eyes — I saw Messiah

John 8:12
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
