This song raises the issue many struggled with in new testament times and even today... that fact of the divinity of Jesus. With all that He taught and did, people still did not "see" the heaven in Him, that He is God in the flesh. It is interesting to note, however, how the song lyrics change at the end, from people missing the signs and wonders to the deed at Calvary becomeing what we needed to finally open our eyes and see Jesus as what He really is, the Savior of the world. Although this song appears on Mulins' posthumous album "The Jesus Record," he actually wrote it around 20 years earlier. The song was originally recorded on his first (independent) album "Behold the Man," recorded in 1982 with his college band Zion. Interestingly, on the "demo" disc for "The Jesus Record," Mulllins performs the song almost exactly the same way he did on that first recording.
