Why did Gehazi run ahead
When Elisha was on the way?
It seems he’d already left
When he heard the prophet say
“Don’t walk, but run and don’t distract
It’s urgent you obey,
Place my staff on the child’s face!”
And Gehazi did not delay.
And yet, he wasn’t able
To bring the child to life
Even though he obeyed full well
He could not ease their strife
Imagine as he walked away
Seeing Elisha and woman appear
Wondering if they will ask
As they both came near
He confessed, deflatedly
“The child did not wake.”
Elisha still went to his room
And prayed for the child’s’ sake.
The methods of this revival
I’ll never understand.
Warming the boy who sneezed seven times
Was somehow in God’s plan.
But as I read the story
While my own prayers over me tower,
I pray to have Gehazi obedience
With Elisha’s Holy Spirit power.
