“MIRACLE OF THE HEALING TREE”
By Barry David Butler

OUR JOHNNY WAS SIX
WHEN THEY TOLD US HE’D DIE
HAD A BRAIN TUMOR
AND THEY DIDN’T KNOW WHY
TRIED ALL THEIR MACHINES
AND ALL OF THEIR DRUGS
BUT IN THE END WHAT WAS LEFT
WERE OUR PRAYERS AND OUR HUGS
WE TOOK HIM ON HOME
NOTHING MORE COULD BE DONE
EXCEPT HOPE AND MUCH PRAYER
TO THE LOVING ONE
WHEN WE GOT TO THE HOUSE
HE JUST WANTED TO SLEEP
SO WE WENT ON DOWNSTAIRS
AND WE STARTED TO WEEP
YA GOTTA HAVE FAITH
IN GOD ABOVE
AND BATHE IN THE LIGHT
OF HIS LOVE
HE SLEPT AND HE SLEPT
THE ENTIRE NEXT DAY
COULDN’T WAKE HIM UP
FIGURED WE’D JUST PRAY
THEN ALL OF A SUDDER
HE OPENED HIS EYES
A STRANGE LOOK ON HIS FACE
ONE VERY WISE
SAID HE HAD A DREAM
OF A MAGIC TREE
WITH HEALING FRUIT
A WONDERTO SEE
HE WAS TOLD THERE BY GOD
TO EAT THE FRUIT ON THE TREE
AND HE WOULD BE HEALED
HE WOULD BE FREE
(CHORUS)
THE VERY NEXT DAY
HE WENT BACK FOR A SCAN
THE CANCER WAS GONE
DOCS COULDN’T UNDERSTAND
A MIRACLE THEY SAID
AND WE TOLD THEM THE DREAM
THEY JUST SMILED AND THEY SNICKERED
I WANTED TO SCREAM
YOU GUYS DON’T HAVE
EVERY SINGLE ANSWER
BUT GOD ALWAYS DOES
EVEN TO FIGHT CANCER
(CHORUS)
