('New every morning is the love')
Luke 10 v.1-9
For St Luke's Day (Oct 18th)
***********
Luke, the good doctor, in gospel
Of how the Lord sent, he does tell
Sent seventy out in pairs, so
Preceded places He would go
Said, harvest is great, workers few
Pray Lord of harvest that He do
Send forth workers out, His harvest
To reap, that mankind true be blest
They to go as lambs among wolves
With minimum items or tools
Whate'er houses they enter in
With 'Peace to this house, words begin
If they be peaceful, then that peace
Shall rest on house and e'en increase
But if not, that peace lost not be
It shall return to givers, see
Be content in simplicity
Eating, drinking, what there then be
heal the sick that are here, and say
'Kingdom of God near you this day'
Medicine of the gospel whole
Healing for body, spirit, soul
Natural means too you provide
Ways that you heal, Lord, none denied

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. metre. This may not cover every aspect of healing, which is sometimes a mystery. Yet I have included 'body, spirit, and soul'. Verse 1: some versions have 72 instead of 70.

GoodMorning Uncle STEVE ~ Great HYMN for another COVID 19 Sunday ~ We have all the WORDS in our sub-coscious do we can sing along. Enjoyed the Scripture Poem ! We couls do with 70 Itinerant Spiritual Healers in our district the NHS is drowning in CASES !

Thanks B&A. Erm, it gets a bit suspect though, if Spiritual Healers set themselves up for PAYMENT! Except for any professional expertise, etc.
Hi Orchidee,
The word of the Lord is indeed a refreshing healing medicine itself.
A good write.
Keep writing ✍ and safe during these challenging times.
