They laid them all before Jesus, and he healed them all
(Matthew 15:30; NLT).
Jesus,
1. May your healing hand
Touch all of us today,
2. Your mercy and forgiveness
Show everyone the way;
3. Your blessed Holy Spirit
Help all the world to pray,
4. Your light and your example,
Bring back all those who stray.
I will search for my lost ones who strayed away,
and I will bring them safely home again
(Ezekiel 34:16; NLT).
