Verse 1
There was a ruler, Jairus by name;
He had heard of Jesus’ fame.
He came to Him and fell on his knees,
"My daughter is dying! Oh, help us please!"

Verse 2
Just then a man came running and said:
"It’s too late! Your daughter is dead."
But Jesus said, "Let’s go and see.
“Be not afraid, Jairus, only believe."

Bridge 1
In the house everyone was weeping.
Jesus told them, "She’s only sleeping."
Then the people started laughing Him to scorn.
But they all left at His command,
Then taking Jairus’ daughter’s hand,
Jesus spoke to her while they all mourned.

Chorus 1
And He said,
"Talitha, cumi! Little girl, arise."
At these words she opened her eyes,
And saw Jesus, loving and wise
Saying, "Talitha, cumi. I say unto thee,
“Little girl, arise."

Verse 3
Her daddy was so happy inside
To see his little girl was alive.
Jesus helped her to get on her feet,
And told her daddy to get her something to eat.

Bridge 2
And the story remains forever
To help us all remember,
Jesus’ touch is just the same today.

Chorus 2
"Talitha, cumi. Little girl, arise."
At these words she opened her eyes,
And saw Jesus, loving and wise
Saying, "Talitha, cumi. I say unto thee,
Little girl …

Chorus 3
"Talitha, cumi. Little girl, arise."
At these words she opened her eyes,
And saw Jesus, loving and wise
Saying, "Talitha, cumi. I say unto thee
Little girl, arise.

Talitha, cumi,
Talitha cumi. Little girl, arise.
