Time became a knife,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]                             [ch]E[/ch]                [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nBut slowly and relentlessly, cut the chord of life[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                                     [ch]F[/ch]\r\nThere was a teacher in the region then, Some of us had heard,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                           [ch]F[/ch]\r\nThat he healed a paralytic,  By the power of just his word,  [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]                              [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nSo with hope again rekindled,  I went at once to see,  [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]                             [ch]E[/ch]                     [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nIf I could find a man named Jesus,  From a town in Galilee[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                           [ch]F[/ch]\r\nI began to search the city, Soon I saw the crowd,  [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                                  [ch]F[/ch]\r\nThey were pressing in to touch him,  And they called his name out loud,  [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]                                         [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nBut with the strength of desperation,  I pushed them all aside,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]                           [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nI threw myself before him,  And from my knees I cried,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                                [ch]F[/ch]\r\nLord come and heal my daughter,  Even now she's close to death,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                            [ch]F[/ch]\r\nHer fever's uncontrollable,  She fights for every breath,  [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]                              [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nBut God's given you the power Life is your's to give[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]                             [ch]E[/ch]                     [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd if you'll just lay your hands on her I know that she'll live[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]       [ch]G[/ch]\r\nshe'll live[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]      [ch]E[/ch]  [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nshe'll live [/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 3]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                            [ch]F[/ch]\r\nHe just begun to go with me,  When a face I saw with fear,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                             [ch]F[/ch] \r\nCame towards me with the news I knew I didn't want to hear,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]                                       [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd although I tried to steal myself,  I trembled when he said,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]                                 [ch]E[/ch]                   [ch]Am[/ch]\r\n\"Why bother the teacher anymore, your little girl is dead.\"[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 4]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                                [ch]F[/ch]\r\nThen Jesus touched my shoulder,  And he told me not to not to grieve,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                                           [ch]F[/ch]\r\nThe trembling stopped when he looked at me,  and said, \"Only believe.\"[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]                             [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThen he sent the crowds away Except his closest men,  [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]                                   [ch]E[/ch]                   [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd they followed right behind us,  As we started off again,

                    [ch]F[/ch]\r\nof the mourners and musicians,  As they strove to dramatize,  [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]                             [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nMy grief they had no business with Beneath their loud disguise[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]                                   [ch]E[/ch]                         [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd my wife just sat their silently And stared through empty

           [ch]F[/ch]\r\nShe isn't dead as you suppose,  The child is just asleep.\"[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]                        [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nIt only took a moment,  for their wails to turn to
