Don Francisco - Hole In The Roof şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Don Francisco

albüm: The Sower


We all had been prayin' that God would arise
Still nothing would move, all except for my eyes
Then someone said Jesus was in the next town
And if we went there and looked, he could surely be found
At the place he was staying, there were crowds at the door
But we'd made up our minds what we'd all come there for
So I closed my eyes tight as they hauled me upstairs
To the flat of the roof, and they laid me down there
And my friends tore a hole to the room down below
Through mud and the tiles and the thatching, and so
They lowered me down in the midst of the crowd
There was coughing and yelling and laughing out loud
And fear rose inside me as they stared at me there
That God or this teacher wouldn't answer our prayers
But I heard softly spoken, "Take courage, my son
Your sins are forgiven;" the fear came undone
Then the same gentle voice asked the ones there inside
"Why do such evil thoughts fill your hearts and your minds?
Do ya think I've no right to my words here today
That I bluff and blaspheme by these things that I say?
What's easier to say, 'Your sins are washed clean'
Or 'Stand up and walk' since the proof will be seen?
So to show you that God's in these words I've just said
I say, 'Stand up and walk; go home with your bed.'"
And at once then a power, alive and so strong
Shot through me, and all was made right that was wrong
I got quick to my feet, and I picked up that bed
And pushed up through the throng with his words in my head
And the crowd came alive as I walked to the street
Much shouting and clapping and stamping of feet
My friends and I danced like we'd just won a war
And we laughed 'til we cried, and praised God some more
When we came back next morning, he was down by the sea
So we patched up the roof they'd torn open for me
Then we listened to him, 'til the people had gone
Then I went up to thank him for all he had done
He just smiled as I tried to match words to my heart
Then he said, "It's a pleasure for me on my part
But it was your faith that let me come in
Because you believed, now you're free of your sin
Your faith was the door that let me come in
And because you believed, you've been healed
Set free of your sin."
