Thy Faith Has Made Thee Well
She heard that he was coming, this man from Galilee
So she like all the others hurried out to see
It had been said he’d cleansed a leper, and made the lame to stand
He claimed to be the son of God, and the son of man
Yet she had such a need and a desperation strong
For this issue of blood she had, she’d had for twelve years long
All the many physicians, they had tried in vain
But the way that she came to them, she left just the same
When she got to where Jesus was, the crowed had gathered round
So she watched him from a distance and uttered not a sound
As she listened to him he was different she could tell
This man she knew down deep inside he could make her well
Just then a man named Jesus came, and at his feet he fell
He cried out Lord come quickly my daughter deathly ill
Come unto my house Lord, come if you will
Lay your hands upon her and I know that she will live
So Jesus and his disciples started to his home
She with the others went to go along
She pressed hard toward him from the crowd’s outer rim
And when he went by her she touched his robe on the hem
Jesus said l perceive someone has touched me for I feel that powers gone
The disciples said Lord look at the crowd it could have been anyone
Yet Jesus searched the crowd to see who’d done this thing
The lady in fear and trembling unto him she came
She cried out Lord it was I that touched your robe
For now i know that your my only hope
She told him how the physicians had all tried and failed
Jesus said unto her, daughter, thy faith has made thee well
