Jesus - the gracious healer (Vol 1 No 32)
Gospel stories last from a culture’s past,
And we welcome them seriously.
Wondrous things astir, miracles occur,
So we ponder repeatedly.
And Jesus, the gracious healer -
He is featured so lovingly.
T’was the sick and lame and the blind who came
Seeking comfort from misery;
He was moved to care and to ease despair,
And they wanted it urgently.
Then Jesus, the gracious healer -
He responded so patiently.
‘It is your belief that can bring relief.’ -
He asserted consistently.
It was wonderful! Not conceivable
That this was a reality??
Yet Jesus, the gracious healer, -
He is there for us all to see.
When the sick and tired, those without a guide
Need a friend’s sensitivity,
With concern declared and a burden shared,
Who can tell what the end might be?
Like Jesus, involved in healing,
We can care sympathetically.
We can ponder still, for those stories thrill
When we hear of supremacy
Of the healing light and the balm, in spite
Of disease and of injury.
And Jesus, the gracious healer,
Shows that love leads to victory.
