Скачать или смотреть Scales Fell on Damascus Road

A 90’s country worship song telling the story of Saul becoming Paul after being blinded by the light of Christ on the road to Damascus. The song follows Acts 9, Paul’s preaching in weakness and fear, the mystery revealed to Jew and Gentile, the passing of the old covenant age, and the truth that believers are now the living temple of God. The song emphasizes courage through grace, the power of the Great I AM, and Christ dwelling in His people.

Full Lyrics
Verse 1
He rode with letters in his hand
Headed for Damascus land
Breathing threats against the Way
Certain he was right that day
Then a light split open the sky
Fell to the ground, heard the cry
“Saul, why do you fight My plan?”
“I am Jesus… the Great I AM”
Blinded eyes and trembling soul
Led by hands he could not hold
Three long days in silent night
Broken by the holy light

Chorus
Scales fell on Damascus road
Grace replaced the heavy load
Not by wisdom, not by might
But by the Lord who showed the light
In my weakness, in my fear
Still the voice of God was near
Chosen by the Savior’s hand
Called by the Great I AM

Verse 2
Ananias heard the call
“Lord, this man has harmed us all”
But the answer came again
“He will preach before all men
Kings and nations, Jew and Greek
Through his weakness I will speak
He will suffer for My name
Still My grace will be his flame”
Hands were laid and sight returned
Holy Spirit in him burned
From that day his life was sold
To the truth he once opposed

Chorus
Scales fell on Damascus road
Grace replaced the heavy load
Not by wisdom, not by might
But by the Lord who showed the light
In my weakness, in my fear
Still the voice of God was near
Chosen by the Savior’s hand
Called by the Great I AM

Verse 3
He preached Christ and some believed
Some grew jealous, hearts deceived
Cities stirred and crowds would cry
Still he would not turn aside
Not with words of clever men
But the Spirit spoke through him
Mystery hidden, now made known
God would make His people home
No more temple built of stone
Christ now makes our hearts His throne
Living stones the Lord has raised
New covenant, finished days

Bridge (soft, worshipful)
Christ in you, the hope of glory
Not in walls, not in the story
Not in shadows passed away
We are His house today
Fear may shake and trials may come
Still the work of God is done
By His grace we stand and say
The old has passed away

Final Chorus (bigger / harmony)
Scales fell on Damascus road
Grace replaced the heavy load
Not by wisdom, not by might
But by the Lord who showed the light
In my weakness, in my fear
Still the voice of God was near
We will boast in Christ alone
He has made our hearts His home
Chosen by the Savior’s hand
Standing in the risen plan
Living stones forever stand
Built by the Great I AM

Outro (soft)
Blinded by the light of grace
Mercy met me face to face
What I was is gone today
Christ has made a better way
