Brought to the Throne of Grace

The paralyzed man
unable to move
lying on the mat

Brought to the throne
of grace, of glory
brought before the living God

Lowered from the heavens
a messenger of sorts
the means to share God’s power

Freed from him illness,
from his sin,
by the belief of his friends

Nothing he did
nothing he was asked for
just the love of Christ

Healed completely
all singing God’s praises
amazed by God’s unending love
