My friend is on sick leave.
He has had a procedure on his knee
And needs to go quietly during convalescence.
He will get better slowly, but it’s not a new knee.
We’re all getting older.
I visited him in hospital to cheer him up,
And he was glad to see me.
A good-will visit helps the time to pass.
My effort seems futile compared with you, Lord.
No tests, no pills, no operation.
Just a touch, then full health.
No convalescence, no sick leave!
When you visit me, Lord, the healing is in my soul.
And I’m more than just politely glad, [1]
For my soul leaps with joy, lifted, as it were, out of time.
Lord, I thank you today for health.
Help me to share this with my friend.
