[F] slowly and [E] relentlessly
_ Cut the [Am] cord of life
There was a teacher in [D] the region [F] then some of us had [B] heard [Am] that he'd healed a paralytic
[F] By the power of just his word [G] so with hope again rekindled
I went in at [C] once to see [F] if I could find a man named Jesus [E] from the town [Am] in Galilee.
_ I
Began to search the city [F] and soon I saw the crowd
[E] They were [Am] pressing in to touch him and they called his name out loud.
[G] But with the strength of desperation
I pushed them [C] all aside
[F] I threw myself before him [E] and from my knees I cried [Am] Lord come and heal my daughter
[F] Even now she's close to death
[Am] Her fever is uncontrollable.
[F] She fights for every breath, [G] but God's given you the power
Life is [C] yours to give
[F] If you'll just lay your hands on [E] her, I know that [Am] she will _ live

Well, he just begun to go with me [F] when a face I saw with fear [Am] came towards me [G] with the news
I [F] knew I didn't want to hear [G] and although I tried to steal myself.
I trembled [E] when he said
[Am] Why [F] bother the teacher anymore?
_ [E] _ _ Your little girl [Am] is dead
Then _ _ _ _ Jesus touched my shoulder [F] and he told me not to grieve
[Am]
The trembling stopped when he looked at me [F] and said only believe _
[G] Then he sent the crowds away
Except his [C] closest men [F] and they followed right behind us [E] as we started off again
[Am] But we were still a long [Em] ways down [F] the road when I heard the sounds and [C] cries of the mourners and musicians
As [F] they strove to dramatize
[G] My grief they had no business with beneath their loud [Am]
disguise
[Em] _ [F] My wife just sat there silently
[E] _
And stared through [Am] empty eyes _ _
_ _ _ Then Jesus asked the mourners
[F] Why is it that you [Gb] weep?
[Am] She isn't dead as you suppose.
[F] The child is just asleep
[G] It only took a moment for their wails [Am] to turn to jeers
Who does this man think he [F] is?
_ _ [E] Get him out [Am] of here
With authority I've never heard [F] in the lips of any man
[Am] Smoke and every sound rolled out with [F] the thunder of command [G] and in the sudden silence
They all hurried [C] for the door
[F] Wondering what the reasons [E] were they'd ever [Am] come there for
_ Then he called his three disciples [F] that were with him on the way
[Am] He led them and my wife and [F] me to where our daughter lay
[G] He took her by the hand
He told her [C] child to rise [F] and the words were barely spoken [E] when she opened up her eyes
[Am] She rose and walked across the [F] room and stood there at our side
_ [Am] My wife knelt down and held her [F] close and at last she really cried
_ [G] And then Jesus told us both to see our daughter [C] had sinned fool
