Wilt Thou Be Made Whole? (Canaan Melodies #28)

A beautiful old song based on Jesus' words to the man at the pool in John 5. He is pleading with us today too, and His cleansing wave is available to heal and make us well.

LYRICS:

1. Hear the footsteps of Jesus, He is now passing by
Bearing balm for the wounded, healing all who apply
As he spoke to the suff'rer who lay at the pool
He is saying this moment, "Wilt thou be made whole?"

Refrain
Wilt thou be made whole? Wilt thou be made whole?
O come weary suff’rer, O come sin-sick soul
See the life-stream is flowing, see the cleansing waves roll
Step into the current, and thou shalt be whole

2 'Tis the voice of that Saviour, whose merciful call
Freely offers salvation to one and to all
He is now beck’ning to him each sin-tainted soul
And lovingly asking, "Wilt thou be made whole?"

3 Are you halting and struggling, o'erpowered by your sin
While the waters are troubled can you not enter in?
Lo, the Saviour stands waiting to strengthen your soul
He is earnestly pleading, "Wilt thou be made whole?"

4 Blessed Saviour, assist us to rest on thy word
Let the soul-healing power on us now be out-poured
Wash away ev'ry sin-spot, take perfect control
Say to each trusting spirit, "Thy faith makes thee whole."
