Eutychus (Acts 20) Lyrics

The Apostle Paul, in Acts chapter twenty

Was preaching the Gospel in the city of Troas

It is a port town in modern day Turkey

Daily teaching and by then, seven days had past

He taught for a long time, for tomorrow he'd be leaving

The crowd in the upper room was listening by lamp light

Paul gave them the Word of God, they were gladly receiving

The talk went on and on, all the way 'til midnight

And that is when

All of the trouble began

Eutychus fell out the window

Eutychus fell out the window

Eutychus fell out the window

Then... he rose again

Who was this Eutychus?

A young man in his upper teens

The sermon went so long

That he had up and fell asleep

No one extraordinary, as far as we can tell

We know nothing else of him

Except that he fell

The first ones on the scene

Approached with dread

After inspecting him

They pronounced him dead

Because...

Eutychus fell out the window

Eutychus fell out the window

Eutychus fell out the window

Then... he rose again

Paul seeing what had happened

Left the room and headed down

He came over to the place where poor Eutychus had hit the ground

Paul grabbed the body of the boy, and held it tight

He turned to the people and said

Don't worry... He is a-live!

Paul, the people ... and Eutychus

Went upstairs and broke some bread

Paul taught them til daybreak

And the people were comforted

The power of Jesus had been shown again

Because...

Eutychus fell out the window

Eutychus fell out the window

Eutychus fell out the window

Then... he rose again

He fell out the window

He fell out the window

Then... He rose again!
