who said they had a cure.
But with every disappointment
it grew harder to be sure.
Still when we heard of Jesus
we went looking for this man.
They said he broke the grip of demons
by the power of his command.
We found his close disciples
in the foothills where he'd been.
But as I tried to talk with them,
And my son began to scream,
and his eyes rolled back inside.
And I turned to them and cried,
Cast it out of him, I beg you.
But it was all to no avail.
And as each one made excuses,
all my hopes began to fail.
But then I heard excited voices calling out ,
And as Je sus walked right toward me,
Hope rose up above my fear.
I cried out, Rabbi, help us.
He's my son, my only son.
Your men have tried to cast it out,
But nothing could be done.
He's been like this since childhood,
But sir, if you can help at all,
when there's faith inside a man
I said, Lord, forgive me, please,
I've lived so long with grief,
And I do believe you can, Lord,
Please, please help my unbelief.
But it shrieked and dashed
Worse than all the times before,
Till at last he lay just like a corpse,
I thought it was the end.
But Jesus raised him up and said,
Here's your son, my friend.
When we got back to our little town,
somehow they all had heard
That Jesus cast the dev il out
with the power of his word.
So He told them all again
about the healing we receive
And that everything is possible
It is your Father's joy to
give to all who will receive
Those who strive may trip and fall,
in the tangled webs they weave.
It is your Father's joy to give
Those who strive may trip and fall,
in the tangled webs they weave.
But everything is pos sible
It is your Father's joy to give
Those who strive may trip and fall
But everything is possible
It is your father's joy to give
