Stretcher Bearer

Relates to: "Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on." -Mark 2:3-4

Would you be my stretcher bearers, when I can no longer stand?
Would you each pick up a corner of my pallet in your hand?
This burden's just too heavy, I find I cannot bear
Its pain, its grief, its sorrow; and so I chance to dare-
To ask if you would carry me through valleys dark and wide;
Then set me safely down again where peace and hope abide.
God said His yoke was easy and His burden would be light;
That's surely why He sent you each to lead me through the night.
And now I must lift others and the burdens they may bring;
I'll be a stretcher bearer carrying wounded for the King.
