By His Stripes
by Barbara Philbrook

By His stripes I am healed,
it does not matter what I see or feel.

The evidence is not there for me to see,
but I know that God has given me the victory.

I am on my way to a brand new life,
one of feeling good, no more of sicknesses' strife.

God gave me the right to ask and receive,
and also provided the faith to believe.

It is written in the Holy Bible for all to see,
and given to all including me.

I followed directions and went forth in faith,
we claimed Matthew 18:19 and began the wait.

The evidence was the opposite of my prayerful request,
but I know of the deceiver, this is just a test.

God gave His word and that is enough for me,
I know the results of that prayer I'll soon see.

I will have a heart working as good as new,
and will soon be running about with energy for two.

God is no respector of persons so He heard my plea,
and I know He's providing now for me.

You too can be assured that you will be healed by prayer,
read in 1 Peter 2:24 it is written there.
