00:21.660 --> 00:26.440
She kept on getting weaker as day dragged
into day.

00:27.320 --> 00:31.260
The doctors gave no hope for her,
she seemed to fade away.

00:32.120 --> 00:34.720
My hours were filled with constant dread.

00:35.160 --> 00:42.660
Time became a knife that slowly and
relentlessly cut the cord of life.

00:44.300 --> 00:46.320
There was a teacher in the region then.

00:47.640 --> 00:53.920
Some of us had heard that he'd healed a
paralytic by the power of just his word.

00:54.400 --> 01:00.880
So with hope again rekindled, I went at
once to see if I could find a man named

01:00.880 --> 01:03.400
Jesus from a town in Galilee.

01:05.160 --> 01:09.600
I began to search the city, and soon I saw
the crowd.

01:10.280 --> 01:15.040
They were pressing in to touch him,
and they called his name out loud.

01:15.220 --> 01:20.040
But with the strength of desperation,
I pushed them all aside.

01:20.220 --> 01:26.720
I threw myself before him, and from my
knees I cried, Lord, come and heal my

01:26.720 --> 01:29.720
daughter, even now she's close to death.

01:30.220 --> 01:34.460
Her fever's uncontrollable, she fights for
every breath.

01:35.340 --> 01:39.480
God's given you the power, life is yours
to give.

01:40.480 --> 01:44.880
If you'll just lay your hands on her,
I know that she will live.

01:45.960 --> 01:47.680
She will live.

01:48.560 --> 01:50.780
She will live.

02:03.960 --> 02:10.640
He'd just begun to go with me when a face
I saw with fear came towards me with the

02:10.640 --> 02:13.300
news I knew I didn't want to hear.

02:13.300 --> 02:21.220
And although I tried to steal myself,
I trembled when he said, Why bother the

02:21.220 --> 02:22.080
teacher anymore?

02:24.500 --> 02:26.040
Your little girl is dead.

02:29.680 --> 02:34.400
But then Jesus touched my shoulder,
and he told me not to grieve.

02:35.080 --> 02:39.640
The trembling stopped when he looked at me
and said, Only believe.

02:40.420 --> 02:44.300
Then he sent the crowds away, except his
closest men.

02:45.340 --> 02:49.200
They followed right behind us as we
started off again.

02:49.860 --> 02:55.200
But we were still a long ways down the
road when I heard the sounds and cries of

02:55.200 --> 03:01.860
the mourners and musicians as they strove
to dramatize my grief they had no business

03:01.860 --> 03:04.520
with beneath their loud disguise.

03:05.920 --> 03:12.440
And my wife just sat there silently and
stared through empty eyes.

03:15.560 --> 03:20.160
Then Jesus asked the mourners,
Why is it that you weep?

03:21.020 --> 03:22.800
She isn't dead as you suppose.

03:23.720 --> 03:25.300
The child is just asleep.

03:26.280 --> 03:30.500
It only took a moment for their wails to
turn to jeers.

03:31.280 --> 03:33.700
Who does this man think he is?

03:34.760 --> 03:36.540
Get him out of here!

03:38.080 --> 03:42.640
With authority I've never heard in the
lips of any man.

03:42.640 --> 03:47.620
He spoke and every sound rolled out with
the thunder of command.

03:48.580 --> 03:52.340
And in the sudden silence they all hurried
for the door.

03:53.520 --> 03:57.580
Wondering what the reasons were they'd
ever come here for.

04:01.940 --> 04:06.200
Then he called his three disciples that
were with him on the way.

04:07.260 --> 04:11.180
He led them and my wife and me to where
our daughter lay.

04:11.180 --> 04:16.640
He took her by the hand and told her child
to rise.

04:17.040 --> 04:21.640
And the words were barely spoken when she
opened up her eyes.

04:21.880 --> 04:26.900
She rose and walked across the room and
stood there at our sides.

04:27.880 --> 04:32.760
My wife knelt down and held her close and
at last she really cried.

04:34.380 --> 04:39.020
And then Jesus told us both to see our
daughter had some food.

04:40.860 --> 04:46.760
But as to how her life was saved,
not to speak a word.

04:49.660 --> 04:51.700
Not to speak a word.

04:57.860 --> 04:59.580
But I gotta tell somebody.

05:02.660 --> 05:04.580
I gotta tell somebody.

05:07.820 --> 05:09.680
Gotta tell somebody.

05:12.820 --> 05:14.680
Gotta tell somebody.

05:17.820 --> 05:19.660
Gotta tell somebody.

05:20.360 --> 05:22.140
Gotta tell somebody.

05:22.240 --> 05:25.260
Gotta tell somebody, gotta tell somebody
what Jesus did for me.

05:25.720 --> 05:30.420
Gotta tell somebody, gotta tell somebody
what Jesus did for me.

05:31.080 --> 05:35.580
Gotta tell somebody, gotta tell somebody
what Jesus did for me.

05:36.240 --> 05:41.540
Gotta tell somebody, gotta tell somebody
what Jesus did for me.
