Rise Up and Walk
HopeFreedomWeaknessCourage
A spirited country gospel retelling of Mark 2, where four friends refuse to stop at a crowded door and bring a paralyzed man to Jesus. These seven days celebrate Christ’s authority to forgive and heal, while calling His people to carry one another to Him in faith.
"In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!"
A song for the road you're on.

Rise Up and Walk Dirt Road Gospel Music DirtRoadGospelMusic.com [Intro] Oh, let me tell you 'bout a day in Galilee... [Verse 1] The crowd was pressed in like a wall around the door Four friends had carried more than they could carry anymore Lord, there was no way through, no way to get him in So they climbed up on the roof, and they started diggin' in They tore back the tile, they tore back the clay Didn't care what the neighbors, didn't care what the neighbors say They let him down on ropes, right in front of the Lord Oh, that's the kind of faith that moves a stone, that breaks a door [Chorus] Rise up and walk, rise up and walk He said, "Your sins forgiven," 'fore your legs even talk Take up your mat, you don't need it no more (Take it up, take it up) Rise up and walk, rise up and walk, rise up and walk right out the door (Right out the door, hallelujah, right out the door) [Verse 2] Now the scribes in the corner said, "Who does He think He is? Only God forgives sin," and bless their hearts, they missed who He is He said, "Which one is easier — to speak it, or to heal?" Then He looked that man in the eye so he'd know that it was real Well, sometimes I'm laid out too, sometimes I can't get through Sometimes it takes some good friends to carry me to You But when Jesus sees the faith of the ones who won't let go He'll tear the roof off heaven, and He'll let the healing flow [Chorus] Rise up and walk, rise up and walk He said, "Your sins forgiven," 'fore your legs even talk Take up your mat, you don't need it no more (Take it up, take it up) Rise up and walk, rise up and walk, rise up and walk right out the door (Right out the door, hallelujah, right out the door) [Bridge] Who's carryin' you today? Who are you carryin'? Don't you stop diggin' till you break on through There's power in the room, oh, there's power in the room When friends won't quit and faith sees it through (Break on through, break on through — He's still able) (Break on through, break on through — He's still able) [Final Chorus] Rise up and walk, rise up and walk He said, "Your sins forgiven," 'fore your legs even talk Take up your mat, you don't need it no more Rise up and walk, rise up and walk, rise up and walk right out the door Right out the door, right out the door He'll roll away whatever you've been laid down for Rise up and walk, rise up and walk, rise up and walk right out the door (Walk right out, walk right out, walk right out the door) [Outro] Rise up... rise up... rise up and walk (He's still able, He's still able) Rise up... and walk.
