The blind saw, the sick were restored,
Darkness fled at His presence,
And the weary found their rest,
For the Lord of mercy had come.

He did not turn away the lost,
For in His hands was compassion,
And in His heart was love,
Love that reached beyond borders.

 
Now He sends us to do the same,
To go in His power and love,
To heal, to lift, to restore,
For His Spirit still moves among us,
Bringing hope to the broken.
