Jesus heard with deep compassion
pleas for healing, cries of pain;
cured the lame and cleansed the leper,
gave the blind their sight again.
At his voice, tormenting spirits
fled a madman’s tortured mind;
clothed and healed, he went rejoicing,
home and family to find.
Jesus touched the lives of outcasts,
weak or sinful, scorned or poor;
gave them self-respect and courage,
trust and faith and hope secure.
Truly hearing, truly seeing
deep within each troubled soul,
Jesus healed their wounded spirits,
sent them forth with lives made whole.
Jesus, Lord, our true example,
you have shown how we must live.
Teach us how to share with others
everything we have to give.
Let our days be spent in service;
bring us by your grace to know
healing is the church’s calling,
and the path that we must go.
