Hole In the Roof Don Francisco

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.'"
