A legion of demons....
Had occupied the vacant heart
Of one poor man who lived apart
Among the dead with wails and screams
His strength gave grown men evil dreams
On foreign shore they beached their craft
Among the tombs the demons laughed
Until the Prince of Life arose
And silenced all his cackling foes
Be gone, you horde of vermin, go!
Into the swine and I will show
Who calms the sea, who rules the waves
Who conquers evil and who saves
Be gone! Be gone! And don’t return
This man is mine and you will learn
No power of hell can take its stand
Against the rescue I have planned
The swine flew off the craggy cliff
The swineherds scattered, fled, scared stiff
The villagers were quite perplexed
The demon-fested man was hexed
But now he sat at Jesus’ feet
His sanity returned, complete
Be gone, you Jewish gang, be gone!
T’was well before you came along
The quiet man at Jesus’ feet
Now begged him, make my joy complete
Please, let me follow you and see
Your kingdom come round Galilee
Not now, my friend, please go and tell
Your folk the Lord has made you well
And all around the eastern shore
Good news abounded more and more
The bay of pigs they left behind
And sailed for home only to find
A fevered girl near death, in pain
A bleeding woman nursing shame
Twelve years of innocence and grief
He rescued both to their relief
He cured the sick, he raised the dead
He ruled the waves, the demons fled
