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
Who could break the grip of demons
By the pow'r of His command

We found His close disciples
In the foothills where He'd been
But as I tried to talk to them
The devil struck again
And my son began to scream aloud
And his eyes rolled back inside
And 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
Then I heard excited voices
Shouting out, "The Master's here!"
And as Jesus walked right toward me
Desperation conquered fear

And I begged Him, "Rabbi, help us!
He's my son, my only son!
Your men have tried to cast it out
But nothing could be done!
And 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 cried, "Oh, Lord, forgive me, please
I've lived so long with grief
And I do believe you can, Oh Lord!
Oh, please, please
Please help my unbelief!"

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

We walked back home that evening
And his mother laughed and cried
As we told her all that Jesus did
How the others failed that tried
And the lesson that He taught me
In the healing we received
"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 are always caught
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 are always caught
In the tangled webs they weave
But everything is possible
To someone who believes...
