The Savior walked on water
The Savior raised the dead
The Savior healed the blind and lame
And then the Savior said
That those who would believe in Him
Could do such things and more
So all my life I’ve wondered
What He meant when He implored
To follow in His footsteps
And do the things He did
Yet I have not done anything
To measure to this bid
And so I sit and ask myself
Where have I gone astray
Should I take His words literally
Or interpret them some other way
Perhaps I merely lack in faith
And the problem lies with me
Yet my faith in him…absolute
So it seems this cannot be
And also, as far as I’ve seen
Many others whom I’ve known
Have faith in him, unshakable
Yet no miracles are shown
So what then shall I make of this
Why do I see no signs
As always comes the answer slow
Distilling in my mind
“The scripture means just what it says
So the answer to your ‘Why’
None ever worked a miracle who
Did not first believe…then try”
