Healing Hues

Tune: Serenity

('Immortal love, for ever full')

Luke 10 v.1-9 parts

**********

Medicine of the gospel true

Did Luke show, works did do

Healing for body, spirit, soul

In Christ all be made whole

 

Commissioned by Him they went forth

To east, south, west, and north

Part of their mission was to heal

Working for mankind's weal (well-being)

 

To heal the sick, to them proclaim

The gracious Saviour's name

And say 'The kingdom of God is

Come to you, e'en in this'

 

For this a sign, healing meets needs

May plant in faith fresh seeds

And too resources natural

We use, do on them call

 

Come search us, show to us your plan

Where seems no healing can

Progress, for sometimes mystery

Surrounds healing, so be

 

Yet your will often is to heal

To show compassion still

As on earth you did restore men

Though did not finish then 

 

For ministry continues now

Your Spirit's gifts, 'tis how

You by your grace renew, restore

That you kingdom come more

 

'Peace to this house' was their intent

They shared it, no relent

Grant healing peace, each town, each land

All 'neath your loving hand

        Thanks Gold. But I\'m especially wicked just now, seeing as there\'s no peace for the wicked, as it\'s said, and my impending marriage! heehee. Did you or Santita manage to book the church for Halloween.? Our honeymoon will be in the Chamber of Horrors!
