Surdo e Mudo

One day a child at the sisters' convention
Was deaf and couldn't worship
But while the group sang to God
The Spirit's presence visited the church

Someone couldn't take it and started to jump
Another couldn't handle it and started to march
Another was a bit crazier and started to run
And the deaf child began to watch
(What is this?)
And in sign language asked her mom
Mom, why did these people jump?
And on the other side, her mom replied
My child, this is the power of God

And the curious boy began to speak
I can't talk, I can't hear, but I want to jump
I can't talk, I can't hear, but I want to march
Find a way, my dear mom, I want to worship

And when mom got home
She grabbed a notebook from the cabinet
In a few minutes, she wrote on the paper
And then tore the paper into little pieces
Put them in a bag
And handed it to her little boy
And looking into his eyes, she began to say
Tomorrow at church when someone jumps

You fill your hands with paper and throw it in the air
Tomorrow at church when someone marches
You fill your hands with paper and throw it in the air
It's with paper, oh my child, that you will worship

The next day at church, the boy arrived
And sat in the front rows
He was watching to see who would jump
He was eager to throw paper in the air

When someone jumped, he threw paper
When someone marched, he threw paper
When someone ran, he threw paper

Suddenly, a worker approached
And the mother noticed the worker arguing with the boy
The mother stood up and went to talk to the worker
Sir, why did you argue with my child?

And the furious worker began to speak
Did you not teach your child any manners?
This is not a place to throw paper on the floor
And a tear rolled down the mother's face

The worker was startled
And out of curiosity, he crouched down
Picked up paper from the floor and began to read
When he read, a tear rolled down his face

The paper said glory to God
The paper said hallelujah
The paper said blessed be the name of the Lord
I may be deaf, but I'm a worshiper
(Go)

I may be deaf, but I'm a worshiper
I, I may be deaf, but I'm a worshiper
Open your mouth to worship
Raise your hands to worship

You have hands but don't raise them
You have legs but don't jump
You have everything but don't worship the name of the Lord
You have health but only complain
You have a home but only complain
You have everything but don't worship the name of the Lord

If you need paper, I will look for it
If you need a bag, I will give it to you
But if you have a mouth, open it to worship
But if you have hands, raise them to worship

While you worship, God enters your house
While you worship, God closes that pit
While you worship, that lie falls
While you worship, that sickness leaves

Raise your hand
Receive this anointing
My God brought you here to lift you up
And those who thought you wouldn't worship
Will see you walk
Will see you walk
Will see you walk (worship)
Worship
Worship
While you worship, He works for you
Worship
Worship
