A hand of fear griiped that crowd that day
At jairus home
When the doctor shoock his head and said
Shes gone
You could feel that mothers heart break
You could hear them cry and moan
Their little girl
Was only twelve years old
Somewhere in the distance outlined against the sun
There came a man with a mission from the throne
They said to look somebody is coming
But what they did not know
It was the promise comimg down that dusty road
Theres a promise coming down that dusty road
From his holy hand healing virtue flows
Hes got the keys to what you need
Death and hell he will defeat
Theres a promise coming down that dusty road
Wonder turned to mocking when jesus did speak
He said your daughter is not dead shes just asleep
And then he turned to the unbelievers and he told them all go home
They heard him say leave me and death alone
Then he laid his hands upon the child
He looked death right in the eye
He said all power on heaven and earth belongs to me
And with a voice that sounds like thunder
He hailed death assunder and then he said
Little girl rise and be healed
Theres a promise coming down that dusty road
From his holy hands healing virtue flows
Hes got the keys to what you need
Death and hell he will defeat
Theres a promise coming down that dusty road
