Talitha Koumi

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw father was frightened As he looked down at me And though my eyes were closed Still I could see The confusion and fear he failed To hide with a smile As he wondered if he might lose His one and only child [Chorus 1] "Talitha Koumi" He spoke like a song Though lifeless and cold, at once I became strong "Talitha Koumi" He spoke with a smile As He handed my father back His only child [Verse 2] And so all at once he left And desperatеly ran To find the compassionate one With thе healing hands When he finally found Him Jesus said, "Do not fear" And father found peace in simply knowing That He was near [Bridge] Healing hands were touching my brow I made the long journey back Still I don't know how His face, the first I saw The first words that I heard The warmth of His healing hands The sound of His healing words [Chorus 2] "Talitha Koumi" Spoken soft in my ear Though I was so far away Somehow I could hear Though death had made me deaf I heard with my heart And followed those healing words And walked away from the dark [Chorus 1] "Talitha Koumi" He spoke like a song Though lifeless and cold, at once I became strong "Talitha Koumi" He spoke with a smile And handed my father back His only child
