Peter And John

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)
