The Gentle Healer came into our town today
He touched blind eyes and the darkness left to stay
More than the blindness, He took their sins away
The Gentle Healer came into our town today

The Gentle Healer came into our town today
He spoke one word that was all He had to say
The One who had died just rose up straight away
The Gentle Healer came into our town today

Oh, He seems like just in ordinary man
With dirty feet and rough but gentle hands
The words He says are hard to understand
And, Yet, He seems like just and ordinary man

The Gentle Healer, He left our town today
I just looked around and found He'd gone away
Some folks from town had followed Him, They say
That the Gentle Healer is the Truth the Life the Way
