Don't You Talk That Way

Now, once a man who'd lived his life in blindness
 Was healed as Jesus Christ was passing by
 He sent him to the waters of Siloam
 To wash the clay he'd placed upon his eyes
 When the Pharisees demanded how it happened
 He told them, Jesus made this clay, and now I see
 When they call the Lord a filthy, evil sinner
 The man stood up and said this cannot be
 And don't you talk that way about my healer
 The things you say, you just cannot defend
 Don't you talk that way about my saviour
 Don't you talk that way about my friend
 Now, once I did not have the things I needed
 And I asked someone to join with me and pray
 But instead of going with me to the Father
 He told me words that darkened down the day
 He said, God is far above the things you long for
 So just put to death those things you think you need
 For there will be no answer to your calling
 Only greater men than you will heaven heed
 And I said, Don't you talk that way about my Father
 He cares for every little bird that flies
 Don't you talk that way about my saviour
 Even I am Jesus' brother in his eyes
 Now the news is full of terror and destruction
 And I hear people on their platforms all around
 Sayin' it's God who's judged the evils of the nations
 With tsunamis and those towers crashin' down
 When I think of Jesus' love and his compassion
 And his death that paid for all our sin and shame
 Somethin' deep inside rsepons in anger
 'Cause I know they're tellin' lies in Jesus' name
 And I say, Don't you talk that way about my Father
 Evil one's the only one to blame
 Don't you talk that way about my saviour
 Don't try to put that stuff on Jesus' name
 Don't you talk that way about my Father
 There's things you say, you just cannot defend
 Don't you talk that way about my saviour
 Don't you talk that way about my friend
 No, don't you talk that way about my friend
