Backstory:
While singing the hymn “Lord, I Would Follow Thee,” one phrase stopped me: “I would learn the healer’s art.” I’ve sung those words many times before, but this time they felt different. I began thinking about the Master Healer Himself — about the countless times Jesus healed not only blinded eyes and withered limbs, but broken hearts and wounded souls. So many of our wounds today aren’t visible. They’re emotional scars carried quietly. And yet Christ’s power to heal is not limited by time or type of pain. He still binds up the brokenhearted. He still makes whole what feels shattered. I began to see that learning “the healer’s art” means first letting Him heal me — and then asking Him to teach me how to handle others’ wounds the way He handles mine: with compassion, patience, and love.


At the Feet of the Master Healer

Jesus went about doing good as the scriptures say,
He helped and healed people every single day.
For Him, it didn’t matter what they had been through,
He saw them with mercy and a Heavenly view.

Jesus is the Master Healer, constant and true,
Whose touch has the power to make us all new.
Even though we can’t see Him physically,
He will be there for us when we need Him instantly.

After Jesus was resurrected He still had each scar
To remind us of His suffering and how precious we each are.
Because of those scars, we can feel of His healing power
And He will help heal our hearts and spirits any hour.

We all carry burdens and wounds in our souls,
That only His mercy can ever make whole.
After our hearts are healed, we can learn from Jesus how to heal others
For we are all on this earth together as sisters and brothers.

As we study the Healer’s art from the Master,
Our hearts will find peace and our spirits grow vaster.
As we truly want to learn from the Master’s love,
He will send us His compassionate Spirit from above.

The Takeaway: Christ is the Master Healer. He has the power to heal every wound — physical, emotional, and spiritual. He even chose to keep His own scars as a witness of His love and redeeming grace. As we come to Him with our broken places, He mends us. And as we follow Him, He teaches us how to extend that same gentleness to others. The healer’s art is learned at His feet — and practiced in how we love.
