Go Tell John

GO TELL JOHN

[Matthew 11:2-6]

Words & Music by Glenda H. Davis

The Holy Spirit John had seen descending like a dove,

And resting on the Son of God while God spoke from above;

But when he was in prison, even John began to doubt;

"If Jesus is the Son of God, why does He not get me out?!"

So John sent two disciples to settle this debate:

"Go ask Jesus if He is the One that we await."

So John's disciples went to Him and asked God's Only Son,

"Are you the Messiah, or should we look for another One?"

Jesus could have been upset that John would dare to doubt;

But instead He healed the blind, and He cast some demons out;

He made the lepers whole again, and He made the sick ones well;

Then He turned to John's disciples and said to them, "Now, go tell...

"Go tell John what you've heard, go tell John what you've seen:

"The deaf hear, the blind see, the lame walk, and lepers are clean,

"The dead are raised, and to the poor the gospel is preached.

"Go tell John what you've heard; go tell John what you've seen."

If John the Baptist had his doubts, what about you and me?

If we know the Son of God, the One who sets us free,

Does that mean that we will never have another doubt?

If we do, let's open up the Word of God and check it out.

"Go tell John what you've heard, go tell John what you've seen:

"The deaf hear, the blind see, the lame walk, and lepers are clean,

"The dead are raised, and to the poor the gospel is preached.

"Go tell John what you've heard; go tell John what you've seen:

The deaf hear, the blind see, the lame walk, and lepers are clean,

"The dead are raised, and to the poor the gospel is preached.

"Go tell John what you've heard; go tell John what you've seen."
