Song Meaning

The Gaither Vocal Band sings “He Saw It All” as a story told by a man who is in town on business. He hears a commotion a few streets over and meets a young man running by, who asks if he saw “the crippled man” pass. The young man is hurrying home “to tell everyone what Jesus did today.” He adds that the mute man and the deaf girl are talking about it too.

The chorus is the challenge for anyone who doubts the report: “It's hard to believe, but if you don't trust me, ask the blind man, he saw it all.” The second verse turns to the listener. “If the troubles and burdens you carry are heavy and dragging you down, you've tried everything you can possibly think of, there's no relief to be found,” then the same Jesus who “altered the future of a blind man, the deaf, and the lame” is still reaching out, and “one touch and you're never the same.”

A healed man's testimony is John 9:25. The blind seeing and the lame walking is Matthew 11:5, and the crowd's amazement is in Mark 7:37.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I was working in town one afternoon

Attending some business affairs

I heard a commotion a couple streets over And wondered. What’s happenin’ there

A young man was running from in that direction

And stopped just to catch his breath

I asked him to please tell me what was the hurry

He smiled up at me and he said.


I was trying to catch the crippled man

Did he run past this way?

He was rushing home to tell everyone

What Jesus did today

And the mute man was telling myself and the deaf girl

He’s leaving to answer Gods call

Its hard to believe but if you don’t trust me

Ask the blind man, he saw it all


Go ask the blind man, he saw it all

So my friend if the troubles and burdens you carry

Are heavy and dragging you down

You've tried everything you can possibly think of

There’s no relief to be found


That very same Jesus that altered the future

Of a blind man, the deaf, and the lame

Is still reaching out in your hour of trouble

One touch and you’re never the same.

You'll be trying to catch the crippled man

Did he run past this way?

He was rushing home to tell everyone

What Jesus did today

And the mute man was telling myself and the deaf girl

He’s leaving to answer God’s call

It’s hard to believe but if you don’t trust me

Ask the blind man, he saw it all

Go ask the blind man, he saw it all

He saw it all
