Hi Friends…
Today I’ve released my first acoustic worship song, “Now I See.” This is one of the most personal songs I’ve written because it tells the story of how Jesus took me from a place of darkness, despair and spiritual blindness and showed me what it really means to see.
I lost most of my sight quite suddenly and was registered blind at 25. Around the same time, my mum died after a twelve-year battle with progressive MS. I lost my job, my car, my independence, my relationship and most of my friends. I became angry, depressed and completely lost, throwing myself into drinking and anything that could numb the pain.
But then I met Sarah.
She had also experienced sight loss and depression, but she had something I didn’t have: Jesus. I spent a long time trying to convince her that people couldn’t be trusted and that her faith was pointless. Instead, God used Sarah to introduce me to the One who would completely change my life. In 2004, Sarah took me to see guitarist Eric Bibb in London. During the concert, I heard the song “Needed Time” and something inside me finally broke. I called out to Jesus: “I can’t fight any more. I’ve not got the strength to kill myself, and I haven’t got the strength to live. Please save me.”
And He did.
I didn’t regain my physical sight that night. Something far more important happened. Jesus opened my spiritual eyes. I began to understand that going blind wasn’t actually my biggest problem. Sin was. And what I needed wasn’t simply to see physically. I needed a Saviour.
That’s where the heart of “Now I See” comes from:
I lost my sight but now I see
Your mercy reaching out for meYour grace is enough
Your grace is enough
His grace really is enough. I couldn’t fix myself, undo my past or earn God’s forgiveness. Jesus did for me what I could never do for myself. Today, I’m still physically blind, but blindness no longer defines my future. Jesus does. I have hope, I have purpose and I have the promise of eternity…And that’s why I love the final words of the song:
I was lost
Now I’m found
I was broken
Soon to be crowned
You saved my soul
You set me free
Even blind
I see eternity
I wrote “Now I See” because I know what it feels like to be completely lost. But I also know that there is no darkness too deep for Jesus to reach. I thought losing my sight was the end of my story…It wasn’t.
I lost my sight, but through Jesus, I finally learned how to see.

The song is beautiful, Steve! The words, your voice, the story itself set the tone for the darkness to be made free in the light. You have quite the talent, my friend. God’s grace is always enough! He is sufficient for all our needs.
Thank you so much, Dayle! That really means a lot to me. 😀
And I have to confess, I was shocked (and a little pleased) that you thought it was actually me singing! I spent a lot of time creating the vocal persona for this song because I wanted it to feel personal and believable, and hopefully not sound a million miles away from how I sound if I could actually sing at that level!
The singer is definitely much more professional than me though… and, unlike me, he can remember all of the words! 😂🎶
But the words and the story are very much from my own heart, so I’m really glad that came across. And you’re absolutely right, my friend, God’s grace is always enough. He truly is sufficient for all we need. 🙏
Just listened on Instagram and this is a great worship song, Steve. Hopefully some congregations will pick it up and use it. It is easy to sing and it is a Gospel song which is always a good thing. I also was happy to read a little more of your journey and Sarah’s journey, filled with the Gospel, too. Thankful to the Lord for Him bringing the two of you together. We are enjoying a lovely smoke free Sunday. Encouraging message at church this morning from 1 John 3:19-24 dealing with doubt. The four points of the sermon 1. You can be assured by obedience. 2. You can be assured by answered prayer. 3. You can be assured by faith and action. 4. You can be assured by the Holy Spirit. Hope you enjoy the assurance of your salvation in this new week! 🙂
Thank you so much, Ellen. I’m really pleased you enjoyed the song and that you found it easy to sing. How amazing would that be, that one day it might be used by a congregation as a simple declaration of the Gospel and of God’s amazing grace. 🙏 😲
Thank you too for taking the time to read more of mine and Sarah’s journey. When I look back, I can see God’s hand at work in ways I certainly couldn’t see at the time. I’m incredibly thankful that He brought Sarah and me together, and of course that He used her to point this stubborn guy towards Jesus! 😊
I’m glad you’re enjoying a lovely smoke-free Sunday too! And thank you for sharing those four points from your sermon. What a timely and encouraging message. I especially love that assurance isn’t based simply on how we feel from one day to the next, but on the reality of Christ, our faith expressed in action, answered prayer, obedience and the witness of the Holy Spirit.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful and blessed week ahead too, Ellen. And yes, by God’s grace, I am very thankful for the assurance of my salvation. 🙏🏻🙂
What a beautiful song! Only those who have traveled the hardest roads can testify so powerfully that God’s grace is enough! Thank you, Steve!
Thank you so much, Cindy. ❤️ That really means a lot to me. You’re absolutely right – when you’ve travelled some of those really hard roads yourself, you come to understand in a much deeper way that God’s grace really is enough.
There were times in my life when I honestly couldn’t see any way forward, and yet God was still there, even when I couldn’t see Him. That’s really the heart of “Now I See” – not that life suddenly became easy, but that Jesus met me in the darkness and showed me that I was never beyond His reach.
Thank you for listening to the song and, more importantly, for hearing the testimony behind it. God bless you, Cindy. 🙏🏻
It’s my pleasure to listen to your music. God bless you and Sarah today! 🙏
Such a powerful message. The somberness of the tune precisely hints at what you went through, Steve. Hallelujah for our Savior. Grace IS enough, because Jesus is enough. Love!
Thank you so much, Sue! That really means a lot to me. ❤️ I deliberately wanted the music to carry some of the weight and darkness of what I went through, while still leading towards the hope and freedom I found in Jesus. And you’re absolutely right… His grace IS enough, because Jesus IS enough! 🙏🏻
Thank you for taking the time to listen and for hearing the heart behind the song. That means more than you know. God bless you.
