Hope for Healing


"Praise ye the LORD… He healeth the broken in heart… His understanding is infinite" (Psalm 147:1,3,5).  "Rejoice greatly… behold, thy King cometh unto thee: He is just, and having salvation… Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope… For how great is His goodness, and how great is His beauty!" (Zechariah 9:9,12,17).  "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life... He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:16,30). 

How graciously is God commanding
The blessings that He will impart. 
How infinite the understanding
Of Him who heals the broken in heart! 

Behold our King who comes to us,
Who saved us from the lowest hell! 
Is not His goodness marvelous? 
Is not His beauty great as well? 

For God so loved us that He gave
His precious Son for our salvation.  
Upon the cross, He died to save
Our sinful souls from condemnation. 

O Lord, our only Hope for healing,
Decrease us, that You may increase
Your beauty that You are revealing
In righteousness and perfect peace!
