How could this man from Nazareth
speak with such power and heal the sick,
he spoke with great authority,
the healing might have been a trick?
But those who came were healed, made well,
and what he said was common sense,
yet spoken in a way well honed,
the word of God, the present tense.
Verses 3-5 follow
Tune: GONFALON ROYAL(LM) An ‘Amen’ can be used but omitting it here leaves the mood of the hymn waiting closure which can only be provided by our answer to the concluding question.
