Now, once a man who'd lived his life in blindness Was healed as Jesus Christ was pa**ing by He sent him to the waters of Siloam To wash the clay he'd placed upon his eyes When the Pharisees demanded how it happened He told them, Jesus made this clay, and now I see When they call the Lord a filthy, evil sinner The man stood up and said this cannot be And don't you talk that way about my healer The things you say, you just cannot defend Don't you talk that way about my saviour Don't you talk that way about my friend Now, once I did not have the things I needed And I asked someone to join with me and pray But instead of going with me to the Father He told me words that darkened down the day He said, God is far above the things you long for So just put to d**h those things you think you need For there will be no answer to your calling Only greater men than you will heaven heed And I said, Don't you talk that way about my Father
He cares for every little bird that flies Don't you talk that way about my saviour Even I am Jesus' brother in his eyes Now the news is full of terror and destruction And I hear people on their platforms all around Sayin' it's God who's judged the evils of the nations With tsunamis and those towers crashin' down When I think of Jesus' love and his compa**ion And his d**h that paid for all our sin and shame Somethin' deep inside rsepons in anger 'Cause I know they're tellin' lies in Jesus' name And I say, Don't you talk that way about my Father Evil one's the only one to blame Don't you talk that way about my saviour Don't try to put that stuff on Jesus' name Don't you talk that way about my Father There's things you say, you just cannot defend Don't you talk that way about my saviour Don't you talk that way about my friend No, don't you talk that way about my friend
