Oh Lord I long to see your face
yet know one day that I will see
and apprehend your love and grace,
the face of love that set us free.
To feel compassion's tender touch,
that steals my heart, love's gentle hush.
To know that healing heart and soul,
that makes one feel completely whole.

Author Notes
Rispetto
The rispetto is an Italian poetry form. It consists of two stanzas with 8 syllables per line, (tetrameter) and two different Rhyme schemes, abab ccdd
I believe that when we we have that connection that Jesus had with His Father, that miracles will happen as frequently as Jesus did, then we will have the perfect. I do not doubt that God wants to both save and heal humans, it is part of the promises in Isaiah 53 but because we do not have that faith connection it does not happen. We should not prefix it with, if it be your will, because it clearly is.
Isaiah 53:3-5
He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. NKJV
