Once upon a rooftop
Four men came with a mat
To lay a man at Jesus’ feet.
But what is up with that?
What do these rooftop men stand for,
Who lowered him on down?
Because God always has a plan,
But not for man’s renown.
Perhaps the first man’s like the Father,
God of light and love,
Who sent His only Son to earth
From heaven’s throne above.
Who knows the heartache He endured
To see Christ on the cross
Partaking of such guilt and shame?
Just think how much it cost!
Our burdens Jesus gladly bore,
Though He endured much pain.
For our own sins He suffered loss.
Through Him we’ve much to gain
Because the Father gave Him
As a sacrifice for sin.
He let His back be mocked and whipped,
Our victory to win.
Therefore His wounds bring us true peace.
Our burdens He did bear
Through the power of the Spirit
Who this truth does share.
The Father, Spirit, Son, you see,
That blessed Trinity,
Are like an awesome triangle
That brings us liberty.
But one more rooftop man gives you
A brand new faith dimension.
For God’s right arm did all the work,
But we are His extension,
The reason for the rectangle
We’re privileged to help carry,
A corner of the sinner’s mat
Which once appeared so scary.
But Jesus tore apart the roof
That wouldn’t let us near
To come into God’s presence,
And He says, “Be of good cheer!”
To Jesus’ left the Father stands.
They each hold up an end.
The Spirit, also, hovering near,
To God’s Word does attend.
Invisibly they wait for us
To take the final part,
Because He’s given us a choice:
“Ignore” or “take to heart.”
The Father, Spirit, and Son do long
To help us in our task.
They’re always there to meet our needs,
If only we will ask.
