Kristene DiMarco and Jason Upton's 'Don't Pass Me By' is a prayerful song about spiritual awareness and repentance. The lyrics express a desire not to overlook God's presence in everyday life, confessing times of blindness and self-reliance. The singer asks the 'Son of David' to open their eyes to recognize heaven and move with God's Spirit. It reflects on God's kindness leading to repentance and a longing to be fully attentive to His work. The song draws on the biblical story of Bartimaeus, who cried out for Jesus not to pass him by.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Have I overlooked You Lord, have I failed to recognize

And assumed the ordinary couldn?t be divine

Am I pushing my ideas while pushing You aside

Am I singing hallelujah or shouting crucify


Oh Son of David, please don?t pass me by

Show me all the places where my heart has been blind

I don?t want to miss You walkin? right before my very eyes

Oh Son of David, please don?t pass me by


I?m sorry for the moments I settled for a lie

And I held You at a distance, convinced that I was right

But I thank You for Your kindness and Your mercy that revives

And how it leads me to repentance, it leads me into life


Oh Son of David, please don?t pass me by

Show me all the places where my heart has been blind

I don?t want to miss You walkin? right before my very eyes

Oh Son of David, please don?t pass me by


Mmm-mm-mm-mmm


I wanna move where You?re moving

Be around what You?re doing

So open my eyes, God open my eyes

I wanna recognize heaven

Be aware of Your presence

All of my life, all of my life (Oh)


I wanna move when You?re moving

Be around what You?re doing

So open my eyes, God open my eyes

I wanna recognize heaven

Just be aware of Your presence

All of my life, all of my life


Oh Son of David, please don?t pass me by

Show me all the places where my heart is blind

I don?t want to miss You walkin? right before my very eyes

Oh Son of David, please don?t pass me by
