They Lowered Him

Not merely opening
the walls of the building
punching a hole
that he may enter in
They lowered him
to the feet of Jesus
so he may be healed
cleansed of his sin

They lifted him up
lowering him down
going with him
as he lay his burden down
knowing he needed
the love of the Lord
bringing him to the one
the one who could restore

Offering more
than a hole in the roof
lowering him down
to the foot of the Christ
standing, redeemed
by the one who bore the cross
healed, redeemed
by his love for all of us
