🎵 MY CHILD, GET UP 🎵 Christian Song with Lyrics | Jesus Raises Jairus' Daughter From the Dead

This Christian song is based on the Gospel accounts of Jesus raising the daughter of Jairus. The lyrics take some significant "artistic freedom" in describing the daughter's experience when this occurred, so it is not just a simple recounting of what the Gospels tell us.

LYRICS:

In the gentle heart of Capernaum I was raised,
God-fearing parents caring for every need.
In the synagogue where the Lord was praised,
It was my father who gratefully got to lead.

Yet blessed with only twelve years of age,
I felt the cold grip of sickness taking hold.
There was a man seen as a prophet or a sage,
Worry united with love and made my father bold.

Having witnessed that man's great power before,
In words where his authority was explicit.
He could just stand waiting and praying no more,
Went and found him to humbly ask for a visit.

Sickness dragged me near the door of death,
Where I fell through the angelic veils.
As deep sleep drew me through tunnel's breadth,
A vision restored sight like falling scales.

In death I felt more awake than ever before,
When starting to walk toward the light.
In the footsteps of ones already on the shore,
Encouraged by the gentle glow in sight.

I cannot explain it but somehow I knew,
In the warm glow of his everpresent love.
The one who reached hand from the other side,
Was next to my bed and watching from above.

In my soul I saw him as a pleasant light ahead,
But my body felt his gentle healing touch.
Taking me by hand to lead away from the dead,
I had never felt so whole or loved as much.

Like a potter restoring a badly broken vessel,
He healed my body and opened my soul's eyes.
Words commanding life made a troubled soul settle,
He called me his own and told me to rise.
