Don Francisco - Gotta tell somebody

^AmShe kept on getting weaker, ^FAs day dragged into day, ^AmThe doctors gave no hope for her, S^Fhe seemed to fade away, ^GMy hours were filled with constant dread. ^AmTime became a knife, ^FBut slowly and relentlessly, c^Eut the chord of l^Amife ^AmThere was a teacher in the region then,^F Some of us had heard, ^AmThat he healed a paralytic, ^FBy the power of just his word, ^GSo with hope again rekindled, ^AmI went at once to see, ^FIf I could find a man named Je^Esus, From a town in G^Amalilee

^AmI began to search the city, S^Foon I saw the crowd, ^AmThey were pressing in to touch him, ^F And they called his name out loud, ^GBut with the strength of desperation, I p^Amushed them all aside, ^GI threw myself before him, ^AmAnd from my knees I cried, ^AmLord come and heal my daughter, E^Fven now she's close to death, ^AmHer fever's uncontrollable, S^Fhe fights for every breath, ^GBut God's given you the power L^Amife is your's to give ^FAnd if you'll just lay your ha^Ends on her I know that^Am she'll live ^Amshe'll li^Gve ^Fshe'll ^Eliv^Ame

^AmHe just begun to go with me, ^FWhen a face I saw with fear, ^AmCame towards me with the news I^F knew I didn't want to hear, ^GAnd although I tried to steal myself, I^Am trembled when he said, ^F"Why bother the teacher anymore, y^Eour little girl is d^Amead."

^AmThen Jesus touched my shoulder, A^Fnd he told me not to not to grieve, ^AmThe trembling stopped when he looked at me, ^Fand said, "Only believe." ^GThen he sent the crowds away E^Amxcept his closest men, ^FAnd they followed right behind us, ^EAs we started off ag^Amain, ^AmBut we were still a long ways down the road, W^Fhen I heard the sounds and cries, ^Amof the mourners and musicians, ^FAs they strove to dramatize, ^GMy grief they had no business ^Amwith Beneath their loud disguise ^FAnd my wife just sat their silently ^EAnd stared through empty e^Amyes

^AmThen Jesus asked the mourners, "W^Fhy is it that you weep?, ^AmShe isn't dead as you suppose, Th^Fe child is just asleep." ^GIt only took a moment, f^Amor their wails to turn to jeers! ^F"Who does this man think he is G^Eet him out of he^Amre!" ^Am"But with authority I've never heard, i^Fn the lips of any man, ^AmHe spoke and every sound rolled out w^Fith the thunder of command, ^GAnd in the sudden silence, Th^Amey all hurried for the door ^FWondering what the reasons were th^Eey'd ever come there ^Amfor

^AmAnd then he called his 3 disciples, T^Fhat were with him on the way, ^AmHe led them and my wife and me, T^Fo where our daughter lay ^GHe took her by the hand, h^Ame told her, "Child arise." ^FAnd the words were barely spoken, w^Ehen she opened up her e^Amyes, ^AmShe rose and walked across the room an^Fd stood there at our sides ^AmMy wife knelt down and held her close, A^Fnd at last she really cried ^GAnd then Jesus told us both t^Amo see our daughter have some food ^FBut as to how her life was saved N^Eot to speak a wo^Amrd

^AmNot to speak a wo^Grd ^CBut I gotta tell somebody ^AI gotta tell somebody ^BI gotta tell somebody ^CI gotta tell somebody ^AI gotta tell somebody ^BWhat Jesus did for me ^C Repeat last three lines
