"Take My Hand" is a gentle song meditation for receiving God's healing in your life:-
"Come bless my precious friend"
"Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s"
(Psalm 103:1-5, NIV)
"Dear friend, listen well to my words;
tune your ears to my voice.
Keep my message in plain view at all times.
Concentrate! Learn it by heart!
Those who discover these words live, really live;
body and soul, they’re bursting with health."
(Proverbs 4:20-22, The Message)
"Are any among you sick? They should send for the church elders, who will pray for them and rub olive oil on them in the name of the Lord."
(James 5:14, GNT)
