It is not the healthy who need a physician

It is the lost, the admittedly hopeless, the broken.

For what does a healthy, holy man need but recognition?

It is the needy, sinful, suffering man who seeks salvation.

He doesn’t cast judgment on those who trust in His name to rid us of our shame.

For we see His mercy is the only way

This is good news to those who trust in You!

No earning merit or standard to live up to.

But knowing You died for a purpose to gain our hearts.

And once this living is over, we’ll see the full beauty of who You are.
