A Prayer For Healing

A PRAYER FOR HEALING

by HELEN STEINER RICE



I JUST WISH I KNEW SOME MAGIC WORDS TO SAY
TO TAKE YOUR TROUBLES ALL AWAY,
BUT AT TIMES LIKE THESE WE REALIZE
THAT GOD WHO IS BOTH KIND AND WISE,
CAN DO WHAT NONE OF US CAN DO
AND THAT'S TO HEAL AND COMFORT YOU
SO I COMMEND YOU TO HIS CARE
AND MAY HE HEAR YOUR SMALLEST PRAYER
AND GRANT RETURNING HEALTH TO YOU
AS ONLY HE ALONE CAN DO.

THIS SHRINE WHERE THE BRILLIANT,
DAZZLING SPLENDOR OF YOUR PRESENCE LIVES.
