Healing Touch

In gentle touch, He healed the ears and tongue,
A sign of love, so personal and strong.
His hands-on care, a lesson clear and true,
To serve with heart, in all we say and do.

Though methods strange, His ways we trust and find,
God’s timing perfect, though it may confound the mind.
In Gentile lands, His love did brightly shine,
A call to reach beyond our own, divine.

To step outside our comfort, share His grace,
With every soul, in every time and place.
Our lives, a testament to His great power,
A witness to His work, in every hour.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
