Oh Ananias, oh Ananias
Please tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
Oh Ananias, oh Ananias
Won't you tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
Well he spoke to the wind, oh yes the wind stood still
Tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
Oh Ananias, oh Ananias
Please tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
Oh Ananias, please Ananias
Won't you tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
Well he spoke to the sea, oh yes the sea got calm
Please tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
Oh Ananias, oh Ananias
Please tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
Oh Ananias, Oh Ananias
Won't you tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
Well he spoke to the waves, oh yes they stopped their rollin´
Tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
Oh Ananias, oh Ananias
Please tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
Oh Ananias, oh Ananias
Won't you tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
Well he spoke to the sun, oh yes the sun went down
Tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
Oh Ananias, oh Ananias
Please tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
Oh Ananias, oh Ananias
Won't you tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
Well he spoke to the dead, oh yes the dead did rise
Tell me what kind a man my Jesus is
My Jesus is oh Ananias, Oh Ananias
Won't you tell me Ananias
Won't you tell me Ananias right now
Won't you tell me Ananias
Won't you tell me Ananias
Won't you tell me right now
