SONG TO ACCOMPANY BIBLE STORY OF JESUS HEALING LAME MAN AT POOL OF BETHSEDA

After hearing the story about Jesus healing the man at the pool of Bethesda found in John 5:1-18, children enjoy singing “Bethesda” from Miracle Mud album by Mary Rice Hopkins.

The song begins:

Way down in Jerusalem there’s a place where people would go
A wading pool called Bethesda where the healing waters flowed
People were healed as the waters started turning
So the sick hurried to get in except one man who lie there hurting
Until he heard from a friend . . .
