Francsico Friday (Week 2)

Everything Is Possible

At first we trusted anyone
who said they had a cure
But with every disappointment
it grew harder to be sure
Still, when we heard of Jesus,
we went looking for this Man
They said He break the grip of demons
by the power of His command

We found his close disciples
in the foothills where He'd been
But as I tried to talk with them,
the devil struck again
And my son began to scream,
and his eyes rolled back inside
He fell and moaned and stiffened out,
and I turned to them and cried

"Cast it out of him, I beg you!"
but it was all to no avail
And as each one made excuses,
all my hopes began to fail
but then I heard excited voices calling out,
"The Master's here!"
And as Jesus walked right toward me,
hope rose up above my fear

I cried out, "Rabbi help us!
He's my son, my only son!
Your men have tried to cast it out,
but nothing could be done!
He's been like this since childhood--
no one can tell us why
But, sir, if you can help at all,
I beg you please to try!"

"If You can!?!" He thundered
"You ask me if I can!?!
Everything is possible
when there's faith inside a man!"
I said, "Oh Lord, forgive me, please--
I've lived so long with grief
and I do believe You can, Oh Lord!
Please help my unbelief!"

He told the spirit, "Leave the boy
enter him no more!"
But it shrieked and dashed him on the ground,
worse than all the times before
Until at last he lay just like a corpse,
I thought it was the end
But Jesus raised him up and said,
"Here's your son my friend."

When we got back to our little town
somehow they all had heard
That Jesus cast the devil out
With the power of His word
So we told them all again
about the healing we received
And that everything is possible
To someone who believes

Everything is possible
to someone who believes
It is your Father's joy
to give to all who will receive
Those who strive may trip and fall
in the tangled webs they weave
But everything is possible
to someone who believes

Everything is possible
to someone who believes
It is your Father's joy
to give to all who will receive
Those who strive may trip and fall
in the tangled webs they weave
But everything is possible
to someone who believes

Everything is possible
to someone who believes
It is your Father's joy
to give to all who will receive
Those who strive may trip and fall
in the tangled webs they weave
But everything is possible
to someone who believes
