Gifts Of Healing Poem by Michael P. Johnson

There’s healing in the church today
God makes the body whole
And who from sin would turn away
He’ll heal their troubled soul

Now some believe they’re Spirit led
To heal the sick and frail
Others will try to raise the dead
And wonder why they fail

Searching for truth on Zion mound
The Lord, they question why
Though remedies are sometimes found
Yet still most patients die

Unknown to us The Father’s plan
We try to change our fate
So small are yet the thoughts of man
But those of God are great

Its not for man or church to boast
Nor fame such deeds are done
Miracles through The Holy Ghost
Will glorify God’s Son

God’s mighty arm sets captives free
Gives strength to those who seek
Will help the blind God’s truth to see
Restore the lost and weak

The Lord! enables by His grace
His wonders to perform –Ac.14: 3
To help His children run the race
And shield them from the storm

God takes no pleasure when we die
Through Christ, we understand
But always there’s a reason why
God shows His mighty hand…
