A man had been an invalid -The bubbling pool at Bethesda

A MAN HAD BEEN AN INVALID for 38 years
At the bubbling pool of Bethesda.
He knew about pain and had shed many tears
At the bubbling pool of Bethesda.
At the bubbling pool
The bubbling pool
The bubbling pool of Bethesda.

When Jesus arrived He said to the guy
At the bubbling pool of Bethesda.
‘Do you want to be well or are you happy to lie
At the bubbling pool of Bethesda?’
At the bubbling pool
The bubbling pool
The bubbling pool of Bethesda.

When Bethesda bubbled the stories tell
That the first one in would be made well
But the power in the water could not compare
With the power of Jesus standing there.

The poor man said there’s no-one who’ll
At the bubbling pool of Bethesda.
Help me to get down into the pool
At the bubbling pool of Bethesda.
At the bubbling pool
The bubbling pool
The bubbling pool of Bethesda.

Jesus said ‘You’re healed, stand up, you’ll see’
At the bubbling pool of Bethesda.
And the man was healed instantly.
At the bubbling pool of Bethesda.
At the bubbling pool
The bubbling pool
The bubbling pool of Bethesda.

Jesus said ‘You’re healed, stand up, you’ll see’
At the bubbling pool of Bethesda.
And the man was healed instantly.
At the bubbling pool of Bethesda.
At the bubbling pool
The bubbling pool
The bubbling pool of Bethesda.
At the bubbling pool
The bubbling pool
The bubbling pool of Bethesda.
