Prayer For Healing

O, God of mercy and The Word, Be merciful to me. Who keeps Your eye on each small bird, I pray watch over me. O, God of healing and of pow'r, Send balm to soothe my pain. Who puts perfume in ev'ry flow'r, Renew my strength again. May be sung to the tune AMAZING GRACE or AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL. CMD (common meter doubled)

Thank you very much, Darlene! This was literally a cry to God when I was very sick with cats bites into 2 joints of my hand. I'm grateful that others can pray that same prayer.

This is such a beautiful poem Anita. The words and the message are so powerful, I wish I could introduce this to my choir at church, it would sound so nice. Kind regards!
