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.

05/12          Acts 3:6-7

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.

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.

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.

Still, He walks among His people,

Yet power moved at her touch,
Healing flowed from His presence,
Strength returned to her body,
Her suffering met its end.

Words of kindness and peace,
Not just a body restored,
But a soul made whole,
A life redeemed by love.

Still, He responds to the touch of faith,
Not one is overlooked by His gaze,
And those who reach for Him,
Will find healing in His name.

You are the One who saves,
Who lifts the broken from the dust,
Who turns mourning into dancing,
Who restores what time has stolen,
Who speaks life into weary souls.

 
My heart clings to Your promise,
My lips declare Your name,
For even in the shadow of doubt,
Your word stands unshaken,
And Your power remains.

 
So I lift my voice in praise,
Even before the healing comes,
For I know You are faithful,
And my healing is in Your hands,
Both now and forevermore.
