The Great Physician

Jeremiah 30:12-17

Any of your disease may not be made well,
And your wound is bitter as I can tell;
There is no help in making your wound heal,
Your lovers saying you lost your sex appeal;
For you have been given a wound of a hater,
A cruel punishment endowed by the Creator;
No real need to cry because of your hurt,
Since allowing temptation of a luring flirt;
But God will save you from your attackers,
Turning away all the wicked and slackers;
For He shall make you healthy once again,
Even though you are an outcast among men.
God takes care of all even those lured away,
He shows His compassion even if we stray;
But giving reminders when we are wrong,
Or even when we sing an improper song;
Healing process starts as God to intervene,
But scars remain because you are unclean;
God will sanitize it as soon as you repent,
For ending the agony of pain and torment.
