Jesus, I Hear You Say...

Jesus,
When I am alone and fallen on my way
With tears I fight my day,

I hear you say,

“Don’t cry, young man! Get up, I tell you!”

When I am sick and feeling weak

Fighting diseases, doctors can’t heal

I hear you say,

“Son, you are free from your illness!”

When I am paralyzed in my journey

That would end only in seeing your face

I hear you say,

“Courage, my son! Do walk again!”

When I meet with wicked commands

Even though I walk in your path

I hear you say,

“Deaf and dumb spirit, I order you,

Come out of the boy, and return never again!”

When my eyes filled with darkness

And my mind too is shut

“Jesus my saviour have pity on me”, I cry;

Then I hear you say,

“What do you want me to do for you?

Your faith has given you the sight!”

When I am out and away from your way

Roaming wherever on my way

I hear you say,

“I do still want, come on my way!”

When I’m given to worldly pleasures

Spend all in vain and leisure

I hear you say,

“Get up, pick up nothing, and follow me!”

When my spirit drooping weary

But my faith linger near still

I hear you say,

“What you believe will be done for you!”

When I see your hands out stretched

Nailed to a cross for sins I have ever done

I hear you say,

“Stretch out your hands and serve me!”
