The daughter had an unclean spirit.
At the feet of Jesus, her mother fell.
She begged Him to drive the demons out.
Of this the Scriptures tell.

“Let the children be fed first.”
Jesus said to her these words.
For she was a Greek and not a Jew,
But she was not deterred.

“Even dogs eat the scraps,
Beneath the Master’s table.”
For saying this, the demon left.
The daughter was made stable.

Lord, we come now to You.
At Your feet we humbly bow.
We ask You to heal our sons and daughters,
For surely You know how

To heal all their confusion,
Deliver demons from their souls,
To grant to each loved one wisdom,
Let heaven be their goal.

Lord, we are unworthy.
Unprofitable too.
Yet, we trust You, and Your mercy.
Jesus, we trust in You.
(Based on Mark 7:24-30)
