FOR THIS THEY HAVE BEEN MADE

To Simon and Andrew’s house,
The scriptures tell us Jesus went.
Simon’s mother-in-law with fever,
Was likely something to lament.

Jesus then approached her
And He grasped her hand,
The fever would soon leave her.
He helped her to stand.

She then sought to serve them,
perhaps feeling elated.
No doubt thankful for the healing,
On them she then waited.

Jesus, we humbly ask You,
To our loved ones please go.
Heal their hearts.  Take their hands.
On them mercy do now show.

Help confusion leave them.
Help them in faith to boldly stand.
May they then seek to serve You.
And follow Your commands.

Through this healing may they be restored,
Not just to health anew.
Through this healing may they be restored
To longing to serve You.

May they serve not just for a while,
May they serve all their days.
May they find joy in serving You,
May they know for this they have been made.
