Hope and Healing

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised" (Luke 4:18).

To brokenhearted, blind, and bruised,
To captives in oppression bound,
Our Savior preached the Gospel news
That hope and healing could be found.

The good news of our hope and healing
Wasn't found in vain tradition.
The Gospel truth He came revealing
Wasn't cloaked in mere religion.

Our hope and healing finally came,
Yet not from doctrines on a shelf,
But rather in the Savior's name,
When our Lord Jesus gave Himself.
