A poem written in 2000. This is among my favorites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are the Great Physician,\u00a0
Healer of my body, soul and mind.\u00a0
To You, I bow in humble submission.\u00a0
My prayer right now is that in me you’ll find,\u00a0
A man that lives a life that to you is pleasing.\u00a0
I thank you for the health you have restored to me.\u00a0
The abundant life you promised, is always increasing;\u00a0
The glory is all yours. I just want others to see,\u00a0
The God I worship and praise, creator of everything,\u00a0
Has touched my body with His healing hand.\u00a0
By His death and resurrection, He’s taken away death’s sting.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The peace I have discovered is available only in you;
Promised to me as just a small part of your grace.
Your word, heavenly Father, I know to be true.
Your Spirit comforts me in life’s hectic race.
In my own strength, I know I’d lose the fight.
But, through Christ, there is nothing I can’t do.
You provide me with love to share, as I shine my light.
The story I share. . . “I was lost ’til I met you.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My soul, though stained by sin from my birth,
Is seen by You as pure, without any kind of flaw.
Death was my sentence; A cost far more than my worth.
I was condemned from the start, because I’d spurned your law.
Instead of sending me away, as your righteousness demanded,
You gave up your place in Glory to die in my place.
I was an enemy to you, self-absorbed and heavy handed.
My soul, you redeemed by your immeasurable Grace.
You are the Great Physician
Healer of my body, soul and mind
To you, I bow in humble submission. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
