Based on Mark 5
Your daughter is dead
That’s what they said
I couldn’t believe those words
Is that really what I had heard?
I thought I’d gotten to Jesus in time
At least that much had given me some peace of mind
But now I’m hearing that it’s too late
That my daughter has already met her fate
“There’s no use troubling Jesus now”
I guess they’re right, since my daughter has taken her final bow
Jesus told me have faith don’t be afraid
In fact, He said she was only sleeping as she laid
Those in the crowd laughed at what He said
So He sent them out, for it was their faith that was dead
“Little girl get up,” He said holding her hand
And to God be the glory my little girl got up to stand
Immediately she was up and we were amazed
We were overwhelmed, we were dazed
And Jesus told us not to say a word
But somehow the people heard
When Jesus sees faith, He acts
Faith in Him brought my daughter back
My daughter is not dead
Because that’s what Jesus said
