Analysis of Healing
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Healing is not an art form
That you can learn in college.
It takes more than 8 years of school
And great amounts of knowledge!
Faith plays an important part
And so perhaps does fasting.
Sometimes prayer is the only way,
When demons out you’re casting!
If you desire healing then
You should begin with prayer.
Standing, kneeling, laying down
Or sitting in a chair!
Pray in the name of Jesus,
Even use the words he used.
When you pray in the Father’s will
Your prayers won’t be refused!
