A  hemorrhaging woman who touched  His cloak;
That official who knew authority’s yoke;
A leper who called from the side of  the road;
The lame man lowered through a rooftop by ropes.

That man who stretched out his withered, frail hand;
A little girl ‘wakened and helped up to stand;
The mother of Peter, cured, serving the God-Man;
A blind man who followed Him across the land.

Too, Mary and Martha’s raised buried brother;
That dead son restored to his widowed old mother;
A wild man unburdened of hundreds of devils;
‘Collector of taxes becoming a  fine fellow.
 
The woman who wiped His feet with her hair;
One brought before Him in sin and despair;
A lame man who waited on  healing pool’s stair;
The crucified thief,  repentant, who cared.

All received healing from Christ, Son of  Man --
A healing that came from their faith  put in Him;
A faith that drew upon His Godly Power;
Faith meeting Power makes  miraculous hours!
