How Would We Know That Jesus Heals

How would we know that Jesus heals
If we never felt pain;
How would we know that Jesus calms
Without the thunderous rain;
How would we know the love of Christ
Without deep fears within;
How would we know that Christ forgives
Without the grip of sin?

How would we know that Jesus soothes
If we were never sad;
How would we know the joy of Christ
If never we were mad;
How would we know that Jesus cares
Without long weary miles;
How would we know that Jesus saves
If we did not have trials?

How would we know that Christ is wise
If we knew everything;
How would we know the Lord provides
Without some suffering;
How would we know the Lord makes whole
If we were never crushed;
How would we know the peace of Christ
If we were never rushed?

How would we know that Christ can solve
If we were problemless;
How would we know Christ makes us pure,
If we claimed righteousness?
How would we know that Jesus speaks
If we opt not to pray;
How would we know that He is Lord,
If our hearts turn away?
