When Healing Comes

When healing comes

What is complex will unscramble

Back on the right track we stumble

Wiser than before yet humble

When healing comes

What was seen great becomes small

Back into the foundation we fall

We again hear the original call

When healing comes

Memories stop being selective

Back to logic where reason is objective

Grateful of the past more appreciative

When healing comes

The heart forgets the excruciating pain

The body relaxing no muscle strain

Experience in life wisdom gain

When healing comes

Have patience to heal in time…

Saving Warrior

Let the godly rejoice.

Glad to hear God’s voice

Let them be filled with joy

God’s grace to enjoy

Father to the fatherless,

No one would He love less

King defender of widows

He comforts their sorrows

Places the lonely in families

Protect them from rivalries

He sets the prisoners free

The beauty of life to see

He loves and gives them joy

Strengthens not to destroy

Praise the Lord, our savior!

Praise our Greatest Warrior

Each day carries us in his arms

In this cold world His love warms

Our God is a God who saves!

Our redemption He craves
