Wondrous Divine Healing
Afflicted grievously
my whole being was invaded
with loathsome sin-cancer cells
I was conquered by fatal pride's virus
verily smitten…
yes, spiritually sick was I…
Forsaking hypocrisy-denial’s stink,
I yielded to God, crying for His healing*
confessing my need
for the Saviour’s cleansing blood
of miraculous complete cure
toward triumphant transformation.
Midst grievous terminal stage
of soul-debility
God, life's Source, reached down to me
with His wondrous love
restoring, reviving me
by His peace-filled pardon.
Receiving His life eternal grant through faith
I'm freed from death-hell's wages
of sin-cancer's indictment
re-created to serve, exalting Christ
I’ll bring others with soul-ailment to Him
for them to delight in His eternal healing freedom.
Indeed, He offers wondrous soothing
you and I can trust…
assuring marvelous comfort
while gently laying His aid, poetically presented:
“Use my oil and mill my seed
My healing powers are all you need.”**
*Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
**I am Me, Set me Free by Maria Williams
