[Verse 1] No room remained around the doorway; Teachers filled the house within. Four men carried one who could not Cross the threshold under sin. They climbed the roof and opened tiles, Lowered bed through dust and talk. The Teacher saw the faith around him, Then spoke forgiveness before walk. [Question Refrain] Which is easier to declare: Sins forgiven, or rise from there? Hearts accused without a sound; Authority would answer ground. [Chorus] Arise and walk. Take up the bed that carried thee. Arise and walk. Go home where every eye can see. The limbs obeyed, the mat was lifted; The crowd made room in shock and awe. Arise and walk: The Son of Man has power to pardon. [Verse 2] Scribes reasoned inwardly of blasphemy; Only God forgives the stain. But hidden thoughts were brought to daylight, And visible healing proved the claim. The man went out before them all, Bearing what had borne his frame. People glorified the God Who gave such power among men. [Final Chorus] Arise and walk. Faith tore through a roof that day. Arise and walk. Forgiveness led the stronger way.
