Miracles

By Andrew Chinn

Jesus left and turned around,

two blind men

they began to shout

Son of David,

have mercy on me,

Please heal my eyes,

that I may see 

Jesus asked, “Do you believe?”,

“Oh, Yes Lord,

we believe you heal”

He touched their eyes,

they had new sight

They danced with joy,

with faith and light 

They sang and danced for God above

They sang and danced for Jesus’ love

They shouted loud

their thanks and praise

For these miracles,

these signs of faith 

One day Jesus came to shore, 5000 came to hear some more

At the end of the day

as darkness came

The disciples said

‘Lord turn them away’

 

But Jesus took two fish, five loaves,

Gave thanks to God

in heaven above

He said to them,

“there is plenty to eat, I am the shepherd, these are my sheep”

 

They sang and danced for God above

They sang and danced for Jesus’ love

They shouted loud

their thanks and praise

For these miracles,

these signs of faith 

Martha and Mary sent news to him

Oh, Lazarus is ill, his light is dim

But Jesus stayed so they would see

He then went later, so they would believe

 

For the death of his friend, Jesus cried

And then he said, ‘roll the rock aside’

“Come out Lazarus!” Jesus cried

in faith he rose and walked to new life

 

They sang and danced for God above

They sang and danced for Jesus’ love

They shouted loud

their thanks and praise

For these miracles,

these signs of faith 

After Jesus had left this world

He sent his friends to all of the Earth

As Peter and John walked past the gate

They saw the man who begged and was lame

 

Peter said in the name of Christ

I order you to stand, I order you to rise

Peter took his hands the lame became strong

He walked and he danced and sang Christ’s song

 

They sang and danced for God above

They sang and danced for Jesus’ love

They shouted loud

their thanks and praise

For these miracles,

these signs of faith© Andrew Chinn, 2007
