Blazing the Blessing

"And there came a leper to Him, beseeching Him... If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth His hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.... and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter" (Mark 1:40-45).

Blaze the Gospel matter much!
Now spread the Word abroad!
Jesus Christ extends His touch
Of healing power from God!

Blaze the matter of His love:
Descending from His throne,
He left adoring throngs above
To suffer all alone.

Blaze the matter of salvation,
And praise our Savior's name,
Who saves us from our condemnation
And cleanses us from shame!

Blaze the matter that He lives
With power now to save!
Eternal life He freely gives
Because His life He gave.
