One of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward.
Seeing him he fell at his feet and pleaded earnestly with him, saying,
“My daughter is at the point of death.
Please, come lay your hands on her
that she may get well and live.”
He went off with him….
and a large crowd followed him…

He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum,” 
which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!”
The girl, a child of twelve, arose immediately and walked around.
At that they were utterly astounded.
He gave strict orders that no one should know this
and said that she should be given something to eat.

—Mark 5:21-43

Lord, for our sons and daughters, we are wailing and are crying,
Their bodies may be alive, but their spirits are dead or dying.
At Your feet dear Jesus, we now kneel.  At Your feet we so earnestly now plead.
We pray go lay Your hands on them, that from death and sin they may be freed.

Free them from the error that chokes them in their vice.
Free them from what stops them, from taking Church advice.
Free them from the traps in which they are ensnared.
Free them from the evil one, that in new life they may share.

Go to them now sweet Jesus. Heal their wounds and dry their tear-filled eyes.
Take each loved one by the hand.  Command them by name arise.
Help them stand dear Lord.   Help them begin to walk around,
Begin the walk towards heaven; towards a one-day glory crown.

May they be healed of all their sins, and all untruths they have been told,
knock at Your door of truth and love, embrace Your precious heart of gold.
May all see healing in Your hands, give glory to You too,
May all with joy pronounce the words: Jesus I trust in You.

We thank You for Your healing, give thanks for all the good You do.
We thank you in advance dear Lord, for healing of our sons and daughters too.
From this day forward Lord, may we love you through and through.
May we honor You all of our days, and give all glory unto You.
