1. How holy are the healed! 2For in their sight their brothers share their healing and their love. 3Bringers of peace,—the Holy Spirit’s voice, through whom He speaks for God, Whose Voice He is,—such are God’s healers. 4They but speak for Him and never for themselves. 5They have no gifts but those they have from God. 6And these they share because they know that this is what He wills. 7They are not special. 8They are holy. 9They have chosen holiness, and given up all separate dreams of special attributes through which they can bestow unequal gifts on those less fortunate. 10Their healing has restored their wholeness so they can forgive, and join the song of prayer in which the healed sing of their union and their thanks to God.
2. As witness to forgiveness, aid to prayer, and the effect of mercy truly taught, healing is blessing. 2And the world responds in quickened chorus through the voice of prayer. 3Forgiveness shines its merciful reprieve upon each blade of grass and feathered wing and all the living things upon the earth. 4Fear has no haven here, for love has come in all its holy oneness. 5Time remains only to let the last embrace of prayer rest on the earth an instant, as the world is shined away. 6This instant is the goal of all true healers, whom the Christ has taught to see His likeness and to teach like Him.
3. Think what it means to help the Christ to heal! 2Can anything be holier than this? 3God thanks His healers, for He knows the Cause of healing is Himself, His Love, His Son, restored as His completion and returned to share with Him creation’s holy joy. 4Do not ask partial healing, nor accept an idol for rememberance of Him Whose Love has never changed and never will. 5You are as dear to Him as is the whole of His creation, for it lies in you as His eternal gift. 6What need have you for shifting dreams within a sorry world? 7Do not forget the gratitude of God. 8Do not forget the holy grace of prayer. 9Do not forget forgiveness of God’s Son.
4. You first forgive, then pray, and you are healed. 2Your prayer has risen up and called to God, Who hears and answers. 3You have understood that you forgive and pray but for yourself. 4And in this understanding you are healed. 5In prayer you have united with your Source, and understood that you have never left. 6This level cannot be attained until there is no hatred in your heart, and no desire to attack the Son of God.
5. Never forget this; it is you who are God’s Son, and as you choose to be to him so are you to yourself, and God to you. 2Nor will your judgment fail to reach to God, for you will give the role to Him you see in His creation. 3Do not choose amiss, or you will think that it is you who are creator in His place, and He is then no longer Cause but only an effect. 4Now healing is impossible, for He is blamed for your deception and your guilt. 5He Who is Love becomes the source of fear, for only fear can now be justified. 6Vengeance is His. 7His great destroyer, death. 8And sickness, suffering and grievous loss become the lot of everyone on earth, which He abandoned to the devil’s care, swearing He will deliver it no more.
6. Come unto Me, My children, once again, without such twisted thoughts upon your hearts. 2You still are holy with the Holiness Which fathered you in perfect sinlessness, and still surrounds you with the Arms of peace. 3Dream now of healing. 4Then arise and lay all dreaming down forever. 5You are he your Father loves, who never left his home, nor wandered in a savage world with feet that bleed, and with a heavy heart made hard against the love that is the truth in you. 6Give all your dreams to Christ and let Him be your Guide to healing, leading you in prayer beyond the sorry reaches of the world.
7. He comes for Me and speaks My Word to you. 2I would recall My weary Son to Me from dreams of malice to the sweet embrace of everlasting Love and perfect peace. 3My Arms are open to the Son I love, who does not understand that he is healed, and that his prayers have never ceased to sing his joyful thanks in unison with all creation, in the holiness of Love. 4Be still an instant. 5Underneath the sounds of harsh and bitter striving and defeat there is a Voice that speaks to you of Me. 6Hear this an instant and you will be healed. 7Hear this an instant and you have been saved.
8. Help Me to wake My children from the dream of retribution and a little life beset with fear, that ends so soon it might as well have never been. 2Let Me instead remind you of eternity, in which your joy grows greater as your love extends along with Mine beyond infinity, where time and distance have no meaning. 3While you wait in sorrow Heaven’s melody is incomplete, because your song is part of the eternal harmony of love. 4Without you is creation unfulfilled. 5Return to Me Who never left My Son. 6Listen, My child, your Father calls to you. 7Do not refuse to hear the Call for Love. 8Do not deny to Christ what is His Own. 9Heaven is here and Heaven is your home.
9. Creation leans across the bars of time to lift the heavy burden from the world. 2Lift up your hearts to greet its advent. 3See the shadows fade away in gentleness; the thorns fall softly from the bleeding brow of him who is the holy Son of God. 4How lovely are you, child of Holiness! 5How like to Me! 6How lovingly I hold you in My Heart and in My Arms. 7How dear is every gift to Me that you have made, who healed My Son and took him from the cross. 8Arise and let My thanks be given you. 9And with My gratitude will come the gift first of forgiveness, then eternal peace.
10. So now return your holy voice to Me. 2The song of prayer is silent without you. 3The universe is waiting your release because it is its own. 4Be kind to it and to yourself, and then be kind to Me. 5I ask but this; that you be comforted and live no more in terror and in pain. 6Do not abandon Love. 7Remember this; whatever you may think about yourself, whatever you may think about the world, your Father needs you and will call to you until you come to Him in peace at last.
