Will to be Well


“Bless the Lord, O my soul… Who healeth ALL thy diseases” (Psalm 103:3).  “When Jesus saw him… He saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?” (John 5:6).

The question is simple that’s posed to the soul
As God seeks to heal, to strengthen, and bless:
The Savior is asking us, “Will you be made whole?”
The answer is no, or the answer is yes.

Some may reply that it’s more complicated,
Suggesting that sometimes our soul is too ill.
That isn’t what Jesus our Savior has stated;
It’s rather a matter of personal will.

How strange are the attitudes blocking His healing!
Should not every soul long at last to be well?
The Gospel is plain that the Lord is revealing,
Yet many are choosing the doctrines of hell.

O Lord, we give thanks for the mercy that cures
The deepest diseases in souls that are found!
We know that Your healing forever endures,
Procured by Your mercy and truth that abound!
