The Binder Up of Our Wounds - Psalm 147: 3

Many claims to be a great healer
but often shows them false
words are easy but don't deliver
truth's reality is the great revealer

God alone is the one true doctor
who deals with ills by sure success
even those with hearts that are crushed
hidden their ailments are under its dress

The great healer is the one true God
who removes our sins by shedding blood
putting HIs own dear son to the cross
breaking this world with a mighty thud

Also this Lord of heaven and earth
binds us up in our wounds so neat
with the touch of heavenly oil
effecting any deep cut by His heat

A day is certainly coming in eternity
when each wound receive a cure
the master's medicine pours divinely in
where the healing is instant certain and sure

(Psalm 137:3
"He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.")

I love your take on this comforting passage from the Psalms. God is the great healer, even using the skill of surgeons and the wisdom of pharmacy for doing His will. I also love the hope of heavenly healing woven into your final stanza. I trust the Lord is blessing you today, Gordon ~ John

Yes, God is our true healer.... ! Medicines and doctors cannot assure us of a permanent cure ! But God, if He touches or wills, we will be healed of our inner wounds and bodily ailments.....! Divinely beautiful Gordon.
