Intro] (
Ayy,
yoh) (
Listen
to
the
testimony
of
the
blind
man) (
Mwaiseni,
open
your
heart,
we
praise
Him
today)
[Verse 1] They
came
to
Jericho,
the
road
was
dusty
and
wide
They
came
to
Jericho,
the
road
was
dusty
and
wide
Bartimaeus
sitting
there,
nowhere
left
to
hide
He
heard
the
crowd
was
moving,
Jesus
passing
through
the
street
He
didn't
have
no
silver,
he
didn't
have
no
seat
But
he
had
a
heart
that
knew
who
was
walking
by
He
lifted
up
his
voice,
he
let
out
a
heavy
cry
[Chorus] Then
Bartimaeus
cried!
Jesus,
Son
of
David,
have
mercy
on
me!
Bartimaeus
cried!
Jesus,
Son
of
David,
have
mercy
on
me!
[Verse 2] Many
rebuked
him,
they
told
him
to
keep
it
low
They
said
'you're
just
a
beggar,
you
got
nowhere
to
go'
But
he
shouted
all
the
more,
the
pressure
couldn't
hold
him
down
He
wanted
to
touch
the
King,
he
wanted
to
reach
the
crown
Jesus
stopped
the
crowd,
He
said
'Bring
him
to
my
side'
He
asked
him
what
he
wanted,
he
didn't
have
to
hide
[Chorus] Then
Bartimaeus
cried!
Jesus,
Son
of
David,
have
mercy
on
me!
Bartimaeus
cried!
Jesus,
Son
of
David,
have
mercy
on
me!
[Bridge] Rabbi,
I
want
to
see,
that’
s
all
I’
m
asking
for
Jesus
said
'Go
now,
your
faith
has
opened
the
door'
Your
faith
has
healed
you,
you’
re
standing
on
your
feet
No
more
begging
on
the
roadside,
no
more
defeat!
[Verse 3] To
you
too,
my
brother,
if
you’
re
sitting
in
the
dark
Just
call
upon
His
name,
let
Him
light
the
spark
It
don't
matter
where
you
been,
or
the
sorrow
that
you
feel
Jesus
is
the
healer,
and
His
word
is
always
real!
[Chorus] Bartimaeus
cried! (
Jesus
Christ!)
Son
of
David,
you've
shown
mercy
on
me!
Bartimaeus
cried! (
Jesus
Christ!)
Son
of
David,
you've
shown
mercy
on
me!
[Outro] He's
shown
mercy,
yeah!
Nasaanta
for
the
healing,
nasaanta
for
the
light (
Ayy,
yoh)
Keep
crying
out,
keep
reaching
out
Your
miracle
is
coming,
on
God!
Hallelujah
Hosanna!!!
AMEN,,,. (
Amen!)
