Chords of a Man - While We Were yet Weak Lyrics

While, while we were yet weak
Our outlook bleak and lying by the waters
Healing angels playing hide and seek

Here, near the gate called Sheep
Where sheltered people lay in dying multitudes
Far too impotent for law to keep

By house of mercy's pool
Elusive jewel of healing by impossible
Keeping of demanding pious rules

There a certain man was found
Who laid there bound for years until One asked of him
Would you like to be made wholly sound

While we were yet weak, He came to enliven us
The dying are quickened by His voice
Jesus came to speak, and hearing in simple trust
The blind, lame, and withered now rejoice
While we were yet weak

Rise, take your mat and walk
Forget the talk of joyless, hopeless, helplessness
All flesh is too weak to keep the law
Pass out of death to life
My words supply the joy that life eternal brings
Peace to those who suffer mortal strife

While we were yet weak, He came to enliven us
The dying are quickened by His voice
Jesus came to speak, and hearing in simple trust
The blind, lame, and withered now rejoice
While we were yet weak
