Matthew 8 - only a word and a touch

Only a touch
but do you believe?
“Lord, if you will,
you can make me clean.”

Jesus reached out
and the leper was healed
A simple touch
and the fever left her

Only a word
now, how about this?
"Lord, I am not worthy…
but only say the word.”

The centurion’s faith
and the servant was healed
The disciples’ cry
and the storm died down
The demons’ plea
and were cast out and drowned.

But

All at the word of Jesus.

For He said, “Go.”
And it was done as the centurion believed.
He rebuked
And the winds and sea obeyed.
And He said, “Go.”
And the demons left.

It is the Lord’s doing
It is only by His Word
Our deeds alone can never deliver us
Only the Word can save

But our faith is built upon this Word
as the centurion did
We make our supplications according to His promises
like the disciples had

Are we able to believe in only a word and a touch?

Do we truly believe in an Almighty God?


… and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. (Matthew 8:16)
