The healing of the Lord is in God's nature, His name, His blood, His resurrection, His promise, His time.
Story behind the song
We were praying in church this morning for the healing of the Lord. After you pray you wait. After he heals you rejoice. When healing doesn't occur, you pray again, and you wait. And then you thank God while you wait and surrender to His will.
Lyrics
So tonight we have been praying,
We've been prayin' in one accord,
We've been prayin' and we been askin',
Now we're waiting on the healing of the LORD!
Yeah, Lord, we're waiting, waiting on the healing of the Lord!
Yeah, Lord, we're waiting, waiting on the healing of the Lord!
Well, God, he promised, he promised,
And his promises he keeps.
And the one who watches Israel,
Never slumbers and never sleeps.
So, Lord, we're waiting, waiting on the promise of the Lord!
Yeah, Lord, we're waiting, waiting on the promise of the Lord!
Now Rosie she won't need crutches,
And Ed won't need that chair!
When the hour strikes and the time is ripe,
And God answers all our prayer
So, Lord, we're waiting, waiting on the hour of the Lord!
So, Lord, we're waiting, waiting on the hour of the Lord!
It may not be,
'Til eternity,
But I'm waiting,
On the healing of the Lord.
