I Thank You Now

 I come before you, Lord, with just one prayer.
My heart is heavy now with worry and care.
How I seek your grace; show me now your face           
And fill me with the knowledge that you hear me.  
          Oh, I thank you now, yes, I thank you now,
          For the wholeness you will yet bring to me.
          For the healing you will work tomorrow in me,
          Yes I thank you, thank you now.                                              

I stand in need of your healing power.     
Come, fold your arms around me in this trying hour.           
Help me trust your grace; show me now your face           
And fill me with the comfort that you know me.  
          Oh, I thank you now, yes, I thank you now,
          For the wholeness you will yet bring to me.
          For the healing you will work tomorrow in me,
          Yes I thank you, thank you now.                                              

I give into your hands my infirmities,        
My weaknesses and all that encumbers me.      
And I trust your promise that whatever I ask         
In the holy Name of Jesus you will grant.                    

And so I thank you now in this community       
For the healing power you will work in me.        
Show me now your grace; I have seen your face;       
Now I am filled with the joy of what will be.       
          Oh, I thank you now, yes, I thank you now,
          For the wholeness you will yet bring to me.
          For the healing you will work tomorrow in me,
          Yes I thank you, thank you now.     

In Need of Your Healing Power

There are times I have no strength to say
That I need to be healed, I need to be healed,
There are times I want to turn a way,
Thinking things will be fine, Things will be just fine.
     But, Jesus, I need your healing pow’r,
     I need you with me ev’ry hour;
     My spirit grows like a tiny flow’r
     That flourishes with your grace and your healing love and pow’r.  

There are people in my life today
That have been estranged, Yes, we’ve been estranged,
Come, restore the love that’s gone away,
So we’re closer in you, Yes, we’re closer in you.
     Oh, Jesus, we need your healing pow’r,
     I need you with me ev’ry hour
     My spirit grows like a tiny flow’r
     That flourish es with your grace and your healing love and pow’r.

Come, enter into my heart and mind;
Teach me to love life of ev’ry kind;
Encourage me when I feel I’m wand’ring blindly;
Help me know in you true healing I can find.

Let us be your beacon of hope
For the struggling ones, All the struggling ones;
Draw us to you for healing and hopefulness,
For we stand in need Of your healing hand.
     Yes, Jesus, we need your healing pow’r
     We need you with us ev’ry hour,
     Our spirits grow like tiny flow’rs
     That flourish with your grace and your healing love,
           your healing love and pow’r.
