Poem on 1 Peter 2:24

Stanza 1
He bore our sins upon the tree,
Took upon Himself our shame,
Every wound, every sorrow,
Laid upon His beaten frame,
For our healing, He endured.

Stanza 2
By His wounds, we are restored,
By His stripes, we are made whole,
Not just flesh but spirit too,
A healing deeper than sight,
A redemption beyond measure.

Stanza 3
He took the weight that we could not,
The burden we were bound to carry,
So that we might walk in freedom,
So that we might live in righteousness,
So that we might know His love.

Stanza 4
Now we stand upon His promise,
Not as those who walk in darkness,
But as those who have been healed,
Made whole by His sacrifice,
And held by His unshaken grace.

Poem on James 5:14-15

Stanza 1
Is there one among you weary?
Let them call upon the Lord,
Let the faithful stand in prayer,
For healing is in His hands,
And restoration is in His name.

Stanza 2
Anoint with oil, lay hands in faith,
Not by human power but by God,
For when we call, He listens,
And when we trust, He moves,
Bringing health to body and soul.

Stanza 3
The prayer of faith is mighty,
Not in the words but in the trust,
For the Lord hears the cries of His people,
And in His mercy, He raises them up,
Turning sorrow into joy.

Stanza 4
So come before Him with confidence,
Let hope arise in the broken,
For the Lord who heals has not changed,
His power is still at work,
And His mercy never ends.

Poem on 2 Corinthians 12:9

Stanza 1
His grace is enough,
More than the strength we lack,
More than the weight of suffering,
More than the trials that press,
For His power is made perfect in weakness.

Stanza 2
When the thorns of life remain,
When the pain does not relent,
Still, His voice whispers peace,
Not in the absence of struggle,
But in the midst of endurance.

Stanza 3
His power upholds the weary,
His strength carries the broken,
We do not stand by our might,
But by the grace of the Almighty,
Sufficient through every storm.

Stanza 4
So I will boast in my weakness,
For His strength is where I rest,
No wound too deep for His love,
No burden too heavy for His hand,
For Christ is enough.

TRIALS TEST US

 
Do not lose heart, O weary soul,
Though your body may fade with time,
For within, there is renewal,
A strength that does not wither,
A fire that does not dim.

 
The outward shell may grow weak,
But the Spirit within stands firm,
For each day brings new mercy,
Each trial refines and shapes,
Each moment draws us closer.

 
This world cannot steal our hope,
For we are held by hands eternal,
What fades is but temporary,
But the life within us is forever,
Rooted in the promise of Christ.

 
So press on and do not fear,
Though trials may test your frame,
For what is unseen is greater,
And His renewal will not cease,
Until we stand complete in Him.

FULLNESS OF LIFE

 
The Spirit that raised Him from the grave,
Now dwells within our hearts,

Restoring strength to the weak,
Filling us with power divine.

 
If death could not hold Him,
Then sickness has no claim,
For His Spirit gives new life,
A renewal beyond the flesh,
A promise sealed in eternity.

 
He transforms the broken vessel,
He breathes upon the dry soul,
Not just to mend but to renew,
Not just to sustain but to revive,
For His life is within us.

 
Rise in the power of His Spirit,
Let the weak stand with strength,
For He has overcome the grave,
And those who trust in Him,
Will walk in the fullness of life.

BRINGING HOPE

 
He walked through the villages and streets,
Anointed with power and grace,
Healing all under oppression,
Breaking chains that bound their souls,
For God was with Him.

 
Wherever He went, freedom followed,
The blind saw, the sick were restored,
Darkness fled at His presence,
And the weary found their rest,
For the Lord of mercy had come.

 
He did not pass by the forgotten,
He did not turn away the lost,
For in His hands was compassion,
And in His heart was love,
Love that reached beyond borders.

 
Now He sends us to do the same,
To go in His power and love,
To heal, to lift, to restore,
For His Spirit still moves among us,
Bringing hope to the broken.

JESUS HEALS

Lame from birth, longing for mercy,
Silver and gold were not his need,
But something far greater awaited,
A touch from the power of Christ.

 
Peter looked upon him and spoke,
“In the name of Jesus, rise and walk!”
No wealth could have bought this moment,
No strength could have brought him to his feet,
Yet faith made him whole in an instant.

 
He leaped, he ran, he rejoiced,
No longer bound by his past,
The crowd marveled at what they saw,
A life restored, a testimony proclaimed,
That Jesus still heals the broken.

 
The name of Christ has not changed,
His power still lifts the weary,
Those who trust in His authority,
Will rise from the dust of despair,
And walk in the joy of healing.

“After saying this, He spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. ‘Go,’ He told him, ‘wash in the Pool of Siloam.’ So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.”

SEEING

 
A blind man stood in darkness,
Knowing only the silence of the night,
Until Jesus knelt before him,
Taking dust and making clay,
And placing it upon his eyes.

 
“Go and wash,” He said,
And the man obeyed in faith,
Water met the dust of the earth,
Light met eyes once dim,
And a new world was born.

 
The work of God was revealed,
Not in words but in power,
A testimony for the doubting,
A sign for those who would see,
That Jesus was the Light of the world.

 
Still, He calls the blind to see,
Still, He opens the eyes of the lost,
For those who trust in His name,
Will walk no more in darkness,
But will have the light of life.

TOUCH HIM

 
They pressed in from every side,
Reaching out with desperate hands,
For they knew that power was in Him,
A power not of this world,
A power that healed all who came.

 
He did not turn them away,
He did not withhold His grace,
He met their sickness with mercy,
He answered their cries with love,
And the weary left restored.

 
Not one was too far for His touch,
Not one was beyond His care,
His healing flowed like a river,
And all who touched Him in faith,
Found strength in His presence.

 
Today, His power remains,
His mercy has not faded,
Still, He walks among His people,
Still, He heals the broken,
For His love endures forever.

FREEDOM

 
The Spirit of the Lord was upon Him,
Moving in power and grace,
To bring freedom to the captive,
To bring sight to the blind,
To bind up the brokenhearted.

 
He stood and read the ancient scroll,
Declaring what was fulfilled,
That healing had come to the world,
That darkness would not prevail,
That the oppressed would be free.

 
Not just for one, but for all,
The kingdom had arrived,
The lost would hear the good news,
The weary would find rest,
And the hopeless would rejoice.

 
Even now, the Spirit moves,
Even now, freedom comes,
For Jesus has not changed,
And those who call on His name,
Will know the power of His love.
