Peter And John Songtext

With eyes to the ground and a held-out palm Asking for pity, begging for alms A desolate cripple from his birth No reason for hope. No sense of worth Who should he see but Peter and John At the door of the temple, whereupon He cried, "Hey, have you got any change to spare?" Peter stopped him cold with a powerful stare Now do you believe this story? I do, with all my mind What was true that day is true today I too have been that blind. I too have been that blind Peter and John came to his side Peter smiled and said, "Look me in the eye We don't have a farthing, a dime or a sou But what we have, we give to you" They helped him to rise, told him he could stand "In the name of Jesus, walk like a man" His ankles grew firm and though he shook He took the first steps he ever took Now do you believe this story? I do, with all my heart What was true that day is true today I too will rise and walk. I too will rise and walk Into the temple marched all three The beggar beside himself with glee Dancing and leaping and praising the Lord While the congregation was completely floored Now do you believe this story? I do, with all my soul What was true that day is true today I too will be made whole. (3x)
