verse 1 

Am                           F 
She kept on getting weaker,  As day dragged into day,   
Am                                  F 
The doctors gave no hope for her,  She seemed to fade away, 
G                                         Am 
My hours were filled with constant dread. Time became a knife, 
F                             E                Am 
But slowly and relentlessly, cut the chord of life 
Am                                     F 
There was a teacher in the region then, Some of us had heard, 
Am                           F 
Thathe'd healed a paradict,  By the power of just his word,   
G                              Am 
So with hope again rekindled,  I went at once to see,   
F                             E                     Am 
If I could find a man named Jesus,  From a town in Galilee 

verse 2 
Am                           F 
I began to search the city, Soon I saw the crowd,   
Am                                  F 
They were pressing in to touch him,  And they called his name out loud,   
G                                         Am 
But with the strength of desperation,  I pushed them all aside, 
G                           Am 
I threw myself before him,  And from my knees I cried, 
Am                                F 
Lord come and heal my daughter,  Even now she's close to death, 
Am                            F 
Her fever's uncontrollable,  She fights for every breath,   
G                              Am 
But God's given you the power Life is your's to give 
F                             E                     Am 
And if you'll just lay your hands on her I know that she'll live 
Am       G 
she'll live------------   
F      E               Am 
she'll li--------------ve  

verse 3 

Am                            F 
He just begun to go with me,  When a face I saw with fear, 
Am                             F  
Came towards me with the news I knew I didn't want to hear, 
G                                       Am 
And although I tried to steal myself,  I trembled when he said, 
F                                 E                   Am 
"Why bother the teacher anymore, your little girl is dead." 

verse 4 

Am                                F 
Then Jesus touched my shoulder,  And he told me not to not to grieve, 
Am                                           F 
The trembling stopped when he looked at me,  and said, "Only believe." 
G                             Am 
Then he sent the crowds away Except his closest men,   
F                                   E                   Am 
And they followed right behind us,  As we started off again,   
Am                                            F 
But we were still a long ways down the road, When I heard the sounds and cries,   
Am                              F 
of the mourners and musicians,  As they strove to dramatize,   
G                             Am 
My grief they had no business with Beneath their loud disguise 
F                                   E                         Am 
And my wife just sat their silently And stared through empty eyes 

Verse 5 

Am                                F 
Then Jesus asked the mourners,  "Why is it that you weep?,   
Am                                F 
She isn't dead as you suppose,  The child is just asleep." 
G                        Am 
It only took a moment,  for their wails to turn to jeers! 
F                               E               Am 
"Who does this man think he is Get him out of here!"  
Am                                      F 
"But with authority I've never heard,  in the lips of any man, 
Am                                   F 
He spoke and every sound rolled out with the thunder of command,   
G                             Am 
And in the sudden silence,  They all hurried for the door 
F                                 E                    Am 
Wondering what the reasons were they'd ever come there for 

Verse 6 

Am                                    F 
And then he called his 3 disciples,  That were with him on the way,   
Am                                F 
He led them and my wife and me,  To where our daughter lay 
G                          Am  
He took her by the hand,  he told her, "Child arise." 
F                                   E                      Am 
And the words were barely spoken,  when she opened up her eyes,   
Am                                    F 
She rose and walked across the room and stood there at our sides 
Am                                       F 
My wife knelt down and held her close,  And at last she really cried 
G                            Am  
And then Jesus told us both to see our daughter have some food 
F                                 E               Am 
But as to how her life was saved Not to speak a word 
Am               F 
Not to speak a word 
Am                   F 
But I gotta tell somebody 
G                 Am  
I gotta tell somebody      
F                     E                   Am 
I gotta tell somebody What Jesus did for me
