lyrics

Oh brother
You've heard talk in the streets
Of a vagrant who speaks like no other
He whos wonders abound
By whom all sickness bows
And you wonder
As you glance 'cross the room
At your little girl who's breath grows weaker
'Could it possibly be? There's been miracles seen, but... for me?
What if I believed?'

Brother
Threw your crown at His feet
Your position and creed in surrender
Begging 'Teacher please, come.
She will die if you don't Lord
We need You'
And with grace in His eyes
Tender words through a smile 'child, I see you,
Now put your hand in mine
Take me where the girl lies, wait and see'

Oh brother
You were stopped on the road
By a woman who's known nothing other
Than the blood and the pain
Life thats purposed to shame and to suffer
Jesus turned from the way
Saying 'daughter your faith's made you well'
But while she stood and praised
Still your little one’s time slipped away

'Couldn’t this have waited just a little longer?
Couldn't this have waited?'

If only you knew what was coming next
If only you knew what was coming next

Then word came from home
'The young one is dead, leave the teacher alone'
But The Word spoke a light
He said 'Be not afraid child, it'll be alright, just believe
Wait and see'

All the squall and commotion made silent and still
As hope interrupted their funeral hymns
Said 'she's not dead but sleeping' and the scoffers they laughed
But He cast 'em outside so they couldn't take part

Oh how the walls must have rattled and foundations shake
When He took her hand in His and said 'child, awake!'
Father shattered the dark and made death look the fool
When what you knew was dead you saw breathe life anew

Oh brother
What that snake meant for harm
Now made bright in the arms of the King
Traded mourning for light
And a promise, that all may receive
