Carrying My Friend

Luke 5:18,19 Some men came carrying a paralytic on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. (NIV)

Lyrics:

He was nobody special,
just someone in need
Still the friends that he had,
were true friends indeed
Because he could not walk,
they knew what must be done
Taking him upon themselves,
they went on to see the Son

CHORUS:
Yes Lord, they're lifting him up,
bearing him to, climbing upon,
to bring him to You
With hearts that cling to the rope
As they hang on a hope out there
Lord they’re carrying their friend
to You..., in prayer

Though the house was surrounded,
the crowd standing by
Yet they would not give in,
no, they chose to look high
Just friends who had the will,
to keep believing still
Holding from the roof above,
pulling on the strings of love

Repeat chorus:

Now I come to Your presence,
for a friend of my own
Paralysed in his darkness,
crippled by fears unknown
Before Your throne of grace,
my friend to You I raise
Riding up through heaven's stair,
rising on the wings of prayer

Yes Lord, I'm lifting him up,
bearing him to, climbing upon,
to bring him to You
My heart will cling to the rope
As I hang on a hope out there
Lord I'm carrying my friend,
carrying my friend
Lord I'm carrying my friend
to You... in prayer!
