Lyrics
WOMAN II: I was on the outside, no power and no name, a woman and a pagan - so they say,
while he was on the inside, with his power and his fame, and I knew that he was in our town today,
so I came to where he stayed and knelt before him, and I begged and cried and pleaded and I prayed -
“Rabbi, please, I beg of you, come heal my child, come, make my daughter whole once more,
I believe that God sent you to help me, so I look to you that you might answer my prayer for the love that I bear.
I ask nothing more from you, but only this - to make my daughter whole once more.
I believe that your hands have the power to restore her life, so I swallow my pride, and ask you inside.
JESUS: Woman, I have many children, too, they are sick and they are dying,
they are hungry, they are crying out to me for bread. So, woman, what would you have me do?
All these children at my table must be fed, I cannot give to every dog some bread.
WOMAN II: I would suffer anything to heal my child, to have my daughter whole again,
Even dogs get the crumbs from the table, give me anything that you are able to give that my daughter might live.
JESUS: Sister, you have answered true, the love of God shall not be kept from you.
And sister, your cries have touched my soul, now go in peace, your daughter is made whole.
WOMAN II: I was on the outside, no power and no name, yet Jesus turned and heard my plea that day.
He was on the inside, yet he heard me all the same, and we shared the Reign of God upon the way.
