[Verse 1] Saul breathed threatenings and slaughter, Letters sealed for Damascus gates. Men and women bound for prison Filled the purpose that he chased. At midday light above the sunlight Flashed and drove him to the ground. A voice asked why he persecuted The Lord whose people he had bound. [Refrain] Saul, Saul, The hunter lost his sight. Saul, Saul, Three days without the light. Led by hands into the city, No food, no drink, no plan: Saul, Saul, The persecutor met the Son of Man. [Verse 2] Ananias heard instruction, Named the danger he had known. Yet he entered, called him brother, Laid his hands where grace was shown. Scales fell off; the blind man saw. He rose, was washed, and ate. Then in synagogues the hunter Preached the Christ he came to hate. [Bridge] Plots arose to kill the convert; A basket lowered him by night. Barnabas stood and told the apostles How the foe had met the light. [Final Refrain] Saul, Saul, The road reversed his breath. Saul, Saul, The witness once marked for death Became the chosen vessel For nations, kings, and kin. The persecutor entered grace, And Christ was preached by him.
