		   GOT TO TELL SOMEBODY

By:  Don Francisco

Am                    She kept on getting weaker,  As
F                       day dragged into day,  The
Am                    doctors gave no hope for her,  She
F                       seemed to fade away,  My
G                       hours were filled with constant dread
G/Am                Time became a knife,  But
F                       slowly and relentlessly
E                       cut the chord of
Am                    life                There was a

Am                     teacher in the region then
F                        Some of us had heard,  That
Am                    he'd healed a paradict,  By the
F                        power of just his word,  G with
G                        hope again rekindled,  I
G/Am                went at once to see,  If I could
F                        find a man named Jesus,  From a
E:  1/2                town in Galilee
Am                                                        And I
Am                  began to search the city
F                     Soon I saw the crowd,  They were
Am                  pressing in to touch him,  And they
F                     called his name out loud,  But with the
G                    strength of desperation,  I
G/Am                pushed them all aside,  I
F                    threw myself before him,  And
E/E7                from my knees I cried,  Lord

Am                     come and heal my daughter,  Even
F                        now she's close to death,  Her
Am                     fever's uncontrollable,  She
F                        fights for every breath,  But God's
G                        given you the power
G:  1/2                Life is your's to
Am                    giveAnd if
F                        you'll just lay your hands on her
E:  1/2                I know that she'll

Am             just begun to go with me,  When a
F                face I saw with fear,  Came
Am            twords me with the news I knew
F                I didn't want to hear,  And al-
G                -though I tried to steal myself,  I
G:  1/2        trembled when he
Am                said,                           "Why
F                bother the teacher anymore
E                your little girl is
Am            dead."

Am                                            Then
Am            Jesus touched my shoulder,  And he
F                told me not to not to grieve,  The
Am            trembling stopped when he looked at me,  and
F                said, "Only believe."
G                Then he sent the crowds away
G/Am        Except his closest men,  And they
F                followed right behind us,  As we
E/E7         started off again,  But we were

Am                  still a long ways down the road, When I
F                     heard the sounds and cries,  of the
Am                  mourners and musicians,  As they
F                    strove to dramatize,  My
G                    grief they had no business with
G:  1/2            Beneath their loud dis-
Am                 -guiseAnd my
F                    wife just sat their silently
E                                        And stared through empty
Am                eyes

Am                                                        Then
Am                    Jesus asked the mourners,  "Why
F                    is it that you weep?,  She isn't
Am                  dead as you suppose,  The
F                    child is just asleep."
G                    It only took a moment,  for their
G:  1/2            wails to turn to
Am                  cheers!              "Who does this man
Am/F             think he is.........ha......
E:  1/2                Get him out of
Am                here!"                        "But with au-

Am                thority I've never heard,  in the
F                    lips of any man,  He
Am                spoke in every sound rolled out with the
F                    thunder of command,  And
G                    in the sudden silence,  They all
G/Am             hurried for the door
F                    Wondering what the reasons were they'd
E:  1/2           ever come there

Am                                            And then he
Am                    called his 3 disciples,  That were
F                    with him on the way,  He
Am                 let them and my wife and me,  To
F                    where our daughter lay
G                    He took her by the hand,  he
G/Am             told her, "Child arise.",  And the
F                    words were barely spoken,  when she
E/E7              opened up her eyes,  She

Am                 rose and walked across the room and
F                    stood there at our sides
F:  1/2                                                My
Am                 wife knelt dowm and held her close,  And at
F                    last she really cried
F:  1/2                                                And then
G                    Jesus told us both to see
G:  1/2                        our daughter have some
Am                 food
F                        But as to how her life was saved
E                                           Not to speak a
Am                  word
Am                                        Not to speak a
