Chorus / Description :
The gentle healer, He left our town today
I just looked around and found He’d gone away
Some folks from town who followed Him, they say
That the gentle healer is the truth, the life, the way
The gentle healer came into our town today
He touched blind eyes and the darkness left to stay
But more than the blindness, He took their sins away
The gentle healer came into our town today
The gentle healer came into our town today
He spoke one word, that was all He had to say
And the one who had died just rose up straight away
The gentle healer came into our town today
Oh He seems like just an ordinary man
With dirty feet and rough, but gentle hands
But the words He says are hard to understand
And yet He seems like just an ordinary man
The gentle healer, He left our town today
I just looked around and found He’d gone away
Some folks from town who followed Him, they say
That the gentle healer is the truth, the life, the way
Writers: Michael Card
And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Jehovah; because they have called thee an outcast, `saying', It is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
