A Room of My Own: Waiting For A Sign

an erection
I wake up with
Jesus on the wall

the youth pastor talks
of a geography of heart
the cross and shadows

Jesus Heals...
a fleck of sunlight
striking his face

a falling red leaf...
Jesus loves you
the weight of his words

  1. Jesus Heals by J. E. Roberts, pub.1907


    Have you heard the joyful sound?
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals;
    Through the Spirit we have found
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals.
    Yes, He heals the blind and lame,
    And His pow’r is just the same
    As when first to earth He came,
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals.

    He is just the same today,
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals;
    As before He went away,
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals.
    If in Him you safely hide,
    And His words in you abide,
    Ask in faith, you’ll be supplied,
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals.

    Loud proclaim the jubilee,
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals;
    Bear the news across the sea,
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals.
    “Lo, I’m with you to the end”—
    Blessed Jesus, what a Friend!
    One on whom we can depend,
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals.

    Jesus heals and makes us whole,
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals;
    Heals the body and the soul,
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals.
    Yes, He heals the sick and sore,
    And our suff’ring days are o’er,
    Praise His name forevermore,
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals.

    Blow the trumpet loud and long,
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals;
    Chant the sweet, melodious song,
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals.
    “I’m the Lord that healeth thee,”
    Just believe and you’ll be free,
    Praise His name, He healeth me,
    Jesus heals, Jesus heals.
