Simpler Said

"Be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.... For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith He to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house" (Matthew 9:2,5,6).

We've heard it's "easier said than done;"
It's an often used cliché.
How true is was of God's own Son,
Who took our sins away.

"Sins forgiven!" What a word!
But oh, how hard to do!
Yet from our Lord was never heard
A word that wasn't true.

Yes, Jesus knew the task ahead
Was easier said than done.
Yet He did it, as He said,
And our salvation won!
