Such Great Faith 2 

Written by Brooklyne Elysse

The Son of God spoke 

Those around Him questioned 

But Jesus’s words could not be debated 

A ruler who’s faith saved his daughter 

A ruler who worshiped 

A ruler who had such great faith 

A woman who needed healing

A woman who was desperate  

A woman who had such great faith 

Ruler 

I opened the door to find the Man sitting 

With tax collectors and sinners 

The Man who was my last hope

For I had heard He could raise the dead 

I know deep down that He can bring 

My little daughter back to life 

I humbled myself before Him and begged earnestly 

Worshiping the Son of God 

Saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death.

Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed,

And she will live.”

So Jesus came, followed by many

I stopped my speedy walk when the Man halts 

The crowd heavily surrounded us in the suffocating heat 

“Who touched My clothes?” Jesus asked

I see a woman come trembling forward, fear stricken 

But He said, “Daughter your faith had made you well.

Go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”

I wondered if He would do the same for my own daughter 

But as the Man spoke, a messenger came to me

“Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further.”

I was devastated, but Jesus came to me and said,

“Do not be afraid; only believe.” 

And so I chose to have faith and believe 

I come to my house filled with mourners and wailing 

Jesus asked them why they were going on so

“The child is not dead, but sleeping.” 

I entered with them to where my daughter lay 

And watched as Jesus took her limp hand in His

“Little girl, I say to you, arise.” 

I was overcome with great amazement 

My daughter was alive! 

My heart leapt with joy 

As I watched my daughter become well again

Never would I forget this moment 

What kind of Man performed miracles such as this? 

Only the Son of God, the Healer, the Savior of the World.
