The Very Hour

John 4:43-54

 

The word flies faster than my feet

It is home before me now and all is well

The power to heal came to my son

And I with nowhere else to turn

Find my son is cured and so I tell

 

I asked the man to come but he stayed there

Telling me go home your son will live

But what about his healing touch

I came to get at least that much

It seemed his word was all that he would give

 

I journeyed back not knowing what I would find

Hoping trusting yet unsure inside

Would my son be dead when I arrived?

Or would the word he spoke be realised?

And all my worries now be cast aside

 

Your son got well at one o’clock they said

The very time that I met him to plead

The very time he said his word to me

And sent me on my way assuring me

All will be well that is all you need

 

I come today before the Lord and say

I too need healing stayed too long away

Believe – the thing the Lord now asks of me

Give me your trust and surely you will see

All will be well let you be on your way
