Changing Lives

Don Moen and Frank Edwards frame this one as an answer to a skeptical question rather than a straightforward declaration — 'someone ask a question, do you believe in this miracles, how do you open blind eyes, how can a lame man start walking' voices the doubt directly before the song answers it. 'I open the blind eyes by faith' responds to that skepticism with confidence rather than defensiveness, and Isaiah 35:5's prophecy that 'the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped' sits behind the specific pair of miracles named.

'If any man is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away, all things have become new' quotes 2 Corinthians 5:17 directly, and it's a deliberate widening of the song's scope — from physical healing (blindness, lameness) to something the song treats as an even bigger category of change. 'He's the same yesterday and today' keeps the whole argument grounded in God's consistency rather than novelty: the miracles being described aren't a new kind of power, just the same one still working.
