A Paralytic By The Pool Lyrics

A paralytic by the pool

Never had anywhere to go

Then a man came and touched his soul

Gave life and strength to his lame legs

But when he walked others proclaimed

That he should lay back down again

He felt just like a royal fool

And hung his head deep down in shame

But he recalled what the man said

"Get up and walk, but do not sin"

And then it occurred to him

His greatest sin had been his shame

So he walked and walked and walked

And held his burgeoning head high

Until he felt like he could fly

And others flew along with him

We are all made out of the mud

But we have places yet to go

Such great treasures we can sow

And then to reap eternal life
