A Time To Heal

https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/a-time-to-heal The sick crippled and blind, of troubled waters to find Aside the Sabbath rule, walked Jesus by the pool Affliction thus pervade, to rest nearby the shade Of varied people sat, yet laid upon the mat The healing then began, a poor and crippled man A statement did foretell, to walk and then be well To spring and rise alone, to start towards his home Of miracles revered, for Christ had disappeared Religious Jews within, accusing him of sin A command to walk away, presently Sabbath day Upholding an offence, beyond their own pretence Likened to revolt, of men who did find fault Disciples picking corn, for they did not conform A watchful Pharisee, en route to Galilee Attended to a man, who had a crippled hand Though lesser hearts forbid, did as his father did Written by Geraldine Taylor ©
