Jesus is the healer, bringing restoration and peace to the broken. Here is a sonnet dedicated to this theme:
The quiet steps upon the dusty road,
A gentle touch that calms the rising fear,
To lift from weary souls the heavy load,
And wipe away the bitter, falling tear.
A gentle touch that calms the rising fear,
To lift from weary souls the heavy load,
And wipe away the bitter, falling tear.
The blind receive their sight, the lame stand free,
The silent tongue breaks forth in joyful song,
As mercy flows like an eternal sea,
To mend the hurt and right the ancient wrong.
The silent tongue breaks forth in joyful song,
As mercy flows like an eternal sea,
To mend the hurt and right the ancient wrong.
No sickness stays before His healing grace,
No shadow hides the comfort of His hand;
He brings His light to every dark embrace,
And peace returns to heal the waiting land.
No shadow hides the comfort of His hand;
He brings His light to every dark embrace,
And peace returns to heal the waiting land.
O loving Healer, near to all who cry,
Whose boundless love and power can never die.
Whose boundless love and power can never die.
