GET WELL QUICK

[MIRIAM JACOB]

GET WELL QUICK

Early in the morning
I am greeted by thoughts about you.
My being longs
For a time,
When the joy will be back again;
When on your two feet,
You can stand and walk.

The body once strong;
A body that was broken,
When dark days loomed over you
With stripes of weakness;
But even in that darkness
A light shone in a distance
When the anointed one
With healing in his wings
Kissed your face
Taking away the afflictions

Our tears he wiped away
Replacing it with gladness
Once again our heart will sing
A song of conquest
Reciting verses of triumph
With melodies in our ears

I will rejoice even in pain
Though no one sees any good
This is where He put me
In this garden of roses
A scratch from thorns, who can avoid?
I am a golden jewel in the furnace
That my price may be counted
Though he put me through pain
Value was added to me
This I never doubt
His dove rests on my shoulder
With olive branch in its beak
Announcing the peace prepared for me
For I know
Soon, I will be restored
