“I Am Your Healer, God, the Lord”

“I am your healer, God, the Lord,”

You spoke, and Israel was restored.

Renew us now, and make us whole

In mind and body, heart and soul.

“I am the way of life,” you said.

You healed the sick, you raised the dead.

Raise us, dear Jesus Christ, we pray,

To life and health, for work and play.

Spirit of life, grant now your gifts

Of faith and wisdom in our midst.

Encourage those who healing bring,

That we, with them, your praise might sing.

Praise God in whose strong arms we dwell,

Praise God in Christ, who makes us well,

Praise Holy Spirit, healing Dove,

O God of hope, O God of love.
