Card Michael – Talitha Koumi lyrics

I saw father was frightened
As he looked down at me
And though my eyes were closed
Still I could see
The confusion and fear he failed
To hide with a smile
As he wondered if he might lose
His one and only child

Talitha Koumi
He spoke like a song
Though lifeless and cold
At once I became strong
Talitha Koumi
He spoke with a smile
As he handed my father back
His only child

And so all at once he left
And desperately ran
To find the compassionate One
With the healing hands
When he finally found Him
Jesus said do not fear
And father found peace in simply knowing
That He was near

Healing hands were touching my brow
I made the long journey back
Still I don’t know how
His face
The first I saw
The first words that I heard
The warmth of his healing hands
The sound of his healing words

Talitha Koumi
Spoken soft in my ear
Though I was so far away
Somehow I could hear
Though death had made me deaf
I heard with my heart
And followed those healing words
And walked away from the dark

Talitha Koumi
He spoke like a song
Though lifeless and cold
At once I became strong
Talitha Koumi
He spoke with a smile
As he handed my father back
His only child
