maybe you feel distant, maybe you feel far from god tonight. but he hasn’t moved. he’s the same place he ever was. now if you haven’t heard him, maybe you haven’t been listening. if you haven’t seen him, maybe your eyes have been closed. don’t worry, if you don’t want him, he ain’t coming. but if you want him –
[choir]
oh, if you want him
[preacher, spoken]
if you need him –

oh, if you need him
[preacher, spoken]

[preacher, spoken]
praise the lord. jesus wants to heal you, to comfort you, to make you prosperous and normal. he is a bone-healer, a fever-breaker, a cancer-ender, a tumor-disappearer. who here believes jesus has the power to heal? raise your hands if you believe.
[choir]
raise up your hands if you believe
[preacher, spoken]
what’s happened? is this a woman who could not walk? you never know who the spirit’s gonna move. let’s say it’s a woman, in a wheelchair a moment ago, and virgil’s gonna bring her onto the stage. you see what’s happened? she could not walk, and now she’s dancing! engineer, i might start speaking in tongues at this point, if the rapture hits. you just keep that spotlight on me, whatever happens. now i’m gonna go to the bible and open it, like i’m gonna read from it. before we call it a night in this glorious chapel, i believe every cane will be broken, i believe every wheelchair will be abandoned, i believe every stretcher will be overturned! and here is where i’ll introduce the volunteer choir, from…virgil?
[virgil, spoken]
philadelphia, sir.
[preacher, spoken]
from the city of brotherly love. now y’all get ready. this is where y’all start singin’ again.
[choir]
raise me up
oh raise me
raise me up
raise me up
oh raise me
raise me up
won’t you raise me
won’t you raise me up
won’t you raise me
raise me
[lula]
oh won’t you raise me
oh won’t you raise me up
higher
yes, lord [preacher, spoken]
oh, that’s right. raise yourselves up off your seats! my bible says, shout unto god with the voice of triumph. raise yourself up! look at what my lord’s doing before i start laying hands on people! imagine what he’s going to do after i start! glory!
[lula]
he places me onto solid ground
oh he lifts me up, he’ll turn your life around
he’s a healer, he’s a counselor
let him do for you like he did for me
oh, he woke me up this morning and started me on my way
if you know what i’m sayin’, say yeah!
[choir]
yeah!
[lula]
yeah!
[choir]
yeah!
[lula]
yeah!
[choir]
and on…
[lula]
oh, i know some of you came here today to forget about your worries
let ’em roll down the river jordan…
[choir]
my…
[lula]
he’s wonderful, he’s marvelous
he did it for me, and he’ll do it for you, and you…
