The doctor listens
Thump thump
With his ear he examines
The heart in motion
Other tests reveal
The condition of the organ
The physician determines the diagnosis
The man lies flat on his back
Fast asleep
A surgeon cuts deep into the patient's flesh
Skillful hands bring a cure
God sees our heart
He perceives the complexities
Of our nature
And judges our thoughts and intentions
Sharper than a scalpel
His word cuts away those things that harm us
So we can bear more fruit
The Father loves us
Like the physician He is concerned about our complete well being
He desires only what's best for us
The same hands that cut away sin administer healing
In the presence of the Holy One
We are made a little more like our Maker
Becoming holy as He is holy
Who are we to resist
The hands of the Divine Surgeon
