Representative Text

1 O ye sick and helpless souls, Jesus speaks to you,
If you wish to be made whole, He tells you what to do—
Obey His word just as you hear it,
Accept His truth and Holy Spirit,
Arise, take up your bed, take up your bed and walk.

Refrain:
Arise, take up your bed, take up your bed and walk,
Arise, take up your bed, take up your bed and walk;
If you believe, ’tis Jesus talking,
Take up your bed and just keep walking,
Arise, take up your bed, take up your bed and walk.

2 Jesus speaks, He’s talking still, hear, ye deaf and blind;
He can cure your many ills of body, soul, and mind;
If you would know the truth about Him,
Look up by faith and do not doubt Him,
Arise, take up your bed, take up your bed and walk. [Refrain]

3 Doctor Jesus, just the same today as long ago;
Healing waters, in His name as living waters flow;
Now is your time, don’t wait one minute,
Here is the pool, just step right in it,
Arise, take up your bed, take up your bed and walk. [Refrain]
