- Blessed is the vervain that grows through the ground
It was on Mount Calvary first it was found
It's a cure for all diseases and a heal for all wounds
And in the name of Jesus I'll pull you from the ground.

- It is on Spy Wednesday my sickness I take
On Good Friday I'll die for your sake
And on Easter Sunday great wonders you'll see
Both the sun and moon dancing in honour of Me
