the meaning deeper
the story about real healing
the healing He offered
His command more
not merely a mat
our sins forgiven
the blood of the Lamb
washing us, clean,
made anew, reborn
in the way He heals us
take up our lives
and walk, with our Savior,
with the lamb, the sacrifice
seated upon his throne
able to walk with us
our lives in His hands
freed by His loving act
climbing the cross in our place
new life in Jesus
take up your life and walk
