"The Healer"

Hasn't our Lord revealed,

His awesome powers by

The 'Healed'.

Recover in the sureness of

Him.

Who can restore your 'Vigor

And Vim'……

Continue to trust him day

By day……

He has not failed you ere'

Before.

Our strength is renewed as

We unceasingly pray.

Be my Guide, Be my Help,

Live in me 'Evermore'.
