Mark 2:1-12
We want our bodies to be well
Thank God for the NHS
For doctors nurses scientists as well
And lately we have come to realise
Our minds need looking after
Our mental health needs care
Thank God for pills and counsellors
Thank God for someone there
And so it was that Jesus
Brought his healing touch
To those will crippled bodies
And those who stressed too much
And then one day while teaching
A man came through the roof
And Jesus spoke of sin to him
And gave us living proof
The body and mind we know
Need our loving care
But the really troubled issue
Is the soul it needs fresh air
The air of honest living
The spirit from above
Our soul more than anything
Cries out for the God of love

+ Taking care of body and mind is a duty for us all. Taking care of our soul, our spirit, even more so.
