All I have is Yours and it is Free

[Cyberseeker]

I thought I might share this song that I wrote a few years back. (Song, poem - is there a difference?) Anyway it was inspired by a reading of the gospels and the compassion of Christ concerning our great need. Hope you like it.

All I have is Yours and it is Free

He said, "Stand on your feet and as you do,
You will find you're walking on them too.
Take up your bed and walk away.
You are healed from this very day!"

Can I lift this bed on which I lie?
Need I not stay here until I die?
He said, "Stand on your feet and as you do
You will find you're walking on them too."

He said, "Open your eyes and you will see,
Everything that's made by me.
I touch your eyes with muddy clay.
Go wash your blindness all away."

Have you seen that I have got no sight?
Will you flood my darkness with your light?
He said, "Open your eyes and you will see,
Everything that's made by me."

He said, "Stretch forth your arm and take from me.
All I have is yours, and it is free!
Grow withered arm. Be whole I say.
Reach twisted fingers, for you may."

Can I touch your hand amidst my strife?
May I take from you eternal life?
He said,"Stretch forth your arm and take from me.
All I have is yours, and it is free!
All I have is yours, and it is free.
