How
handicapped, how bound are we
When Christ was bound on Calvary?
He could
not move a hand nor foot,
And He was wracked with anguish, but
He gave Himself to earnest prayer
For those whose weight of sins He bare.
"Father,
forgive, they know not what they do."
O
child of God, say not,
"I am too handicapped, too bound,
Too busy, and
I have not found
A service I can do for Him."
O Shame! Let us, with eyes
grown dim,
Look back to Calvary.
Bound helpless there,
The suffering
Saviour gave himself to prayer!

Martha was bed ridden and wracked with pain
for years.

with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
