Lyrics
FOUR FAITHFUL FRIENDS
by Martin Shrout
Fall 2005
VERSE #1
Did he want to be healed?
Did he want to go?
Did he believe in Jesus?
Or was it a show?
He couldn?t take himself,
He couldn?t walk that way.
He sat on the shelf,
Until friends cared that day
CHORUS
Four faithful friends
Cared enough
To let nothing stop them,
No matter how tough.
Four faithful friends
Carried the man
Let?s bring our friends
To Christ?s healing hands
VERSE #2
The house was packed
There was no place to sit
Walking right thru
Would?ve caused a fit
Jesus was teaching
The true words of life
They lowered their friend
Through the roof ? surprise!
CHORUS
VERSE #3
Jesus was impressed
He forgave his sin
The teachers were distressed
With anger from within
To prove he had the right
It was more than just talk
Jesus told the man
Take up you mat and walk.
CHORUS
CHORUS
