Look, there's just something I kinda need to address and I should do it - I know I should do it now. Erm... t-there- ... o-over the years I've realised that, erm... some- a lot of my audiences come to my shows, er, particularly because of a... sometimes because I quite often sing about beliefs, erm... specifically in the past I've sung a lot about faith - and religion. And , er, if I'm completely honest with you, I've erm... tended to mo-mock, erm... some of the - not in general - but some of the mo- might perceive- hypocrisies. Er... but I just don't want anyone to be waiting for that because I'm not doing it... anymore. Erm... What...? Well - I know, I know. It's har- Look, I should... you deser- you-you've earned an explanation, you're right. Erm, it's someth- something happened to me, you see. Er, when I was touring my last show in Australia, it's the begin-beginning of last year, and erm... I was doing a gig - n-not one of my gigs. It was ah, a sort of - it was actually a new material night, er, hosted by the.. Ross Noble - you know, th-the long-haired, mentally-ill Northerner. And erm... he's not, obviously. He's a genius, erm - which is a mentally-ill person with an audience. Erm - he's - he's beautiful, he's th-the ... Ro- y'know Ross, he's the best. And he does this amazing gig, and we were having a drink afterwards, and there was a really nice vibe in the bar, but I notice this dude - who, slightly uncomfortably, was hovering - sort of, on the periphery of our group. And I noticed him particularly - this tall, really handsome guy, had those nice dreadlocks that you can get for about 600 quid at the hairdresser, and he had a shirt open to about here, and was very tanned, but I noticed him particularly because he had a-a a long silver chain, and hanging at the end of the chain, a quite prominent silver cross. Y'know, the sort of cross you might wear if you're a fan of... intersections. Or-or or the lowercase letter 'T'. Or-or probably most commonly, if you're a fan of the apparatus by which first-century Romans put to death and tortured Jewish insurgents. And, er... anyways, he was sorta standing there and, erm, eventually he- he made- he the move and came over an- this lovely polite guy, he said, "Hi, g'day, I'm Sam." - er, his name was Sam - he says, "I'm from Dandenong." - he was er, from Dandenong, which is the suburb of Dandenong, set in the Dandenong ranges, just-just to the- just to the south of Melbourne. And, er, we got talking, but I could tell he wanted to talk to me, and eventually he managed to - kinda, y'know - isolate me from the pack. And he says, "Tim, I've always wanted to talk to you 'cos I'm - I'm a fan of your work, and I don't want you to think I'm offended or anything, but as you might have noticed, I'm a Christian." ... (a Christian)... er, and he says, "I just- I've always to ask you why - why you don't believe in God." and I said, "Well, Sam, I don't believe in God for the same reason that anyone who doesn't believe in a thing doesn't believe in it. Because I haven't yet been offered enough evidence to allay my doubts." And he said, "But you don't just go though your whole life only believing things for which you have evidence." and I said, erm... "Yep. That's pretty much how I stutter my way through my turgid existence, yeah." And he said, "What about love?" and I said, "W-what about love, Sam?" and he said, "Do you believe in love?" and I said, "Yeah, I-I believe in love, I think. I-I love, I am loved. Sure." And he said, "A-ha! You don't have any evidence for love!" A-and I said... "Hmmm...I-I think... I'm in... I think.. Yeah! I've got... evidence... Sure! Love without evidence is... stalking." And he said, "Well, Tim, if it's evidence you want, how about this?" And he told me this story, this incredible story, about his mum. You see, Sam and his mother were members of a big, evangelical church congregation in the Dandenongs. You know, one of those new glassy type ones. And, um, in her early sixties, Sam's mum had gone to the doctor with a problem with her eye and he had diagnosed an irreversible degenerative eye disorder and he told her that if she didn't get surgery very quickly, that she would lose her eyesight. And Sam's mum was afraid, she didn't believe in modern medicine, she didn't trust doctors, she was afraid of hospitals, and the idea of surgery but Sam and his mum went to this church, this incredible church, and that sunday the entire congregation of their church — some 1700 people — prayed at the same time for Sam's mum, and the following Tuesday they went back to the doctor and there was no sign that there had ever been anything wrong with her eye, she was healed, she was ... cured. And the reason this story had an impact on me is cause I try to be intellectually honest with others and with myself and all I've ever asked for is evidence, and here I was witnessing a first-person account of what can only be described as a miracle. So I went home, and I wrote this song. I have an apology to make I'm afraid I've made a big mistake I turned my face away from you, Lord I was too blind to see the light I was too weak to feel Your might I closed my eyes I couldn't see the truth, Lord But then like Saul on the Damascus road You sent a messenger to me, and so... Now I've had the truth revealed to me Please, forgive me all those things I said I'll no longer betray you, Lord I will pray to you instead
