The hospital full – v2

Maybe to understand the story
to remember what we already know
that in this place, Capernaum
where Christ lived, the disciples
the house already well known
many came for healing
to the foot of Christ

Like an emergency room
the hospital full,
the house of our Savior
filled with the sick, the injured
all who needed healing
the whole town coming
into the house of our Lord

Into this story, this setting
the paralytic man brought by friends,
neighbors lending a hand
Wanting to get to Jesus
but no room, no path for him
cutting a whole in the roof
not standing in line
