O God of Life, Your Healing Touch
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Mark 3:1-6 Lyrics: O God of life, your healing touch
Brings wholeness and salvation!
In you, this world you love so much
Becomes a new creation.
Through Jesus Christ you blessed the poor,
Unleashed your gifts of healing.
You gave new sight, new strength, new life—
To all, your love revealing.
O Christ, the loving healer still,
You gather us for mission
To serve your people who are ill,
Whatever their condition.
You send us to the suffering
With medicine and caring;
Now make our lives an offering
To those who are despairing.
Lord, by your Spirit, may we hear
The truth of others’ stories.
May we respect their doubts and fears,
Their hopes and dreams, their worries.
And when their ways are not our own,
Lord, give us understanding:
Our faith cannot be fully grown
When we are too unbending.
How long, Lord, shall we serve the poor—
A week, a month, a season?
We ask the question, hoping for
A limit to our mission.
But open wide our hearts anew
And show us, as we’re giving,
Your life-long call to serving you
In daily, generous living. Topics: Wholeness and Healing, Service of Used With Tune: KETY

Two Thousand Years Since Bethlehem
Author: Brian Hoare, 1935- Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Mark 3:7-12 Lyrics: 1 Two thousand years since Bethlehem
first welcomed Jesus' birth:
the startling truth began to dawn
that God had come to earth.
And as he grew and lived and taught
a different way unfurled:
a way of joy and love and peace,
a new start for the world!
2 Two thousand years since Galilee
where Jesus preached and healed;
in words of truth and works of power
God's kingdom was revealed.
As young and old and rich and poor
responded to his call,
they found what we may find today:
a new start for us all!
3 Two thousand years since Calvary,
the hill where Jesus died;
the Lamb of God, the sinless one,
for me was crucified.
But soon he rose up from the grave
to reign in victory;
good news I scarcely can believe;
a new start won for me!
4 Two thousand years since Pentecost:
the Holy Spirit came
in sound of mighty, rushing wind
and tongues of living flame;
a gift to all who will believe
and live the Jesus way;
the power of God we may receive,
a new start from today!
5 Two thousand years of Christian faith
have changed our history,
for Jesus is the Lord of time
and of eternity.
For all who seek a better way,
than failure, sin and pain,
still Jesus Christ makes all things new:
a chance to start again! Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

to pray for health, to plead for friends.
How can we fail to be restored
when reached by love that never ends?
2 From every ailment flesh endures
our bodies clamor to be freed;
yet in our hearts we would confess
that wholeness is our deepest need.
3 In conflicts that destroy our health
we recognize the world's disease;
our common life declares our ills.
Is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
4 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
in your community may find
the wholeness that, enriching us,
shall reach the whole of humankind.

ran to tell his brother Simon,
:God's Anointed One is here!"

from the shores of Galilee,
leaving boats and nets and kindred,

when inquiring Greeks found care,
when the Spirit came in blessing,
Andrew faithfully was there.

sent to make the gospel known,
faithful to his Lord's example,
called to make a cross his own.

honour Christ in our own day,

And run not before Him,
Whatever betide;
In joy or in sorrow,
Still follow thy Lord,
And, looking to Jesus,
Still trust in His Word.

Be calm in thy soul;
Each thought and each motive
Beneath His control;
Thus led by His Spirit
To fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted
For service above.

are burdened with his name.

One there is above all others
Author: Newton Meter: Irregular Appears in 686 hymnals Scripture: Mark 3:33-35 Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others,
Well deserves the name of Friend:
His is love beyond a brother's,
Costly, free, and knows no end:
They who his affections prove,
Find his heart abounds with love.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood?
But our Jesus died to have us
Reconciled in him to God:
This was boundless love indeed;
Jesus is a friend in need.
3 When he loved on earth abased,
Friend of sinners was his name;
Now, above all glory raised,
He rejoices in the same;
Still he calls them brethren, friends,
And to all their wants attends.
4 Oh for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, thy name to love;
We, alas! forget too often
What a Friend we have above:
But if there our souls are brought,
We will love thee as we ought.
