Steven A. Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up
and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
And at even, when the sun did set,
they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. And all the city was gathered together at the door.
And he healed many that were sick of diverse diseases, and cast out many devils
The lyrics you provided are actually a direct excerpt from the Bible, specifically Mark 1:29-34. Steven A. Clark's song "Part Two" appears to be referencing this biblical passage, thereby drawing a parallel between the healing powers of Jesus and how individuals can find solace and strength in times of distress.
The passage describes the story of Simon Peter's mother-in-law who was sick with a fever. Simon tells Jesus about his mother-in-law's condition, and Jesus immediately takes her hand and heals her, allowing her to serve them. Later in the evening, word spreads about Jesus' healing abilities, and the entire city gathers outside Simon's house, bringing their sick and possessed loved ones to be healed by Jesus. He heals many people afflicted with various diseases and casts out numerous demons. Importantly, Jesus orders the demons not to speak, as they recognize him.
Through these lyrics, Steven A. Clark draws upon this biblical narrative to explore themes of healing, deliverance, and the power of belief. It suggests that in times of affliction and despair, one can find hope and renewal by turning to a higher power. Additionally, the song may also touch on the idea that healing can extend beyond physical ailments to include emotional and spiritual restoration.
