The crowd outside were wailing and crying. <br />for the daughter of Jairus lay dying <br />Then some people came saying she was dead <br />and poor Jairus felt such sorrow and dread. <br /> <br />“Don’t be afraid she’ll be healed, ” Jesus said <br />as to the house of Jairus He was led. <br />To all the people left mourning outside <br />“She is not dead but asleep, ” Jesus replied. <br /> <br />They just laughed at Him in their unbelief <br />displaying all their sorrow and their grief. <br />Touching her hand as she lay on the bed <br />“Talitha cumi, ” The Lord Jesus said. <br /> <br />And as they gazed upon the young girls face <br />a resurrection miracle took place. <br />The life giving Spirit quickened her soul <br />and she stood before them alive and whole. <br /> <br />Those present were astonished and amazed <br />for Jairus’s daughter from death had been raised. <br />But The Lord Jesus told them not to tell <br />how she had been saved from death and made well. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />*“Talitha cumi, ” means “Little girl, get up! ”<br /><br />Royston Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/talitha-cumi/
