Lyrics
38 years on a mat, shackled by excuses. Watching everybody
Fly past me, feel helpless and useless
Been losing way too long, I lost my faith in me
How can I go on when this is all that I see?
Then you came along showed me what I had
In me, told me I was strong and how great I can be.
(He said) Take up your bed and walk. Take up your bed and Walk.
Take up your bed and Walk (HE said take up your bed) Take up your bed and (He Said ) Take up your bed and, (Ayyye) Take up your bed and walk.
Tell me who’s really holding you back? Can’t keep pointing fingers (naw naw naw)
All talk but very little action, won’t change the conclusion, been losing
Way too long, it seems you’ve lost your faith can’t keep lying there
Hoping something will change. Jesus came along to point this out
To you, you’re already strong this is what you should do
(He said) Take up your bed and walk. Take up your bed and walk
Take up your bed and walk (HE said take up your bed) Take up your bed and (He Said ) Take up your bed and, (Ayyye) Take up your bed and walk.
Yesterday wasn’t fair some things were not your fault but you survived thank God
And with each new day, come possibilities and brand new mercies
But winning is your responsibility you’ve gotta WALK..
Take up your bed and walk. Take up your bed and walk
Take up your bed and walk (HE said take up your bed) Take up your bed and (He Said ) Take up your bed and, (Ayyye) Take up your bed and walk.
Take up your bed and walk. Take up your bed and walk
Take up your bed and walk (HE said take up your bed) Take up your bed and (He Said ) Take up your bed and, (Ayyye) Take up your bed and walk.
