The house was packed with people that day
While Jesus stood inside where sick folks lay.
Soon scratching and tearing were heard overhead;
Four men made a hole big enough for a bed.
They lowered the bed through the opening there.
On it was a man whose sickness was rare.
'Heal me,' he cried and stretched out his hand.
Jesus saw him and spoke this soft command:
'Rise up and walk, to you I say.'
The man was made well that very day.
The four men who brought the sick man long ago
Make me want to bring others, God's love to show.
