1. I am the Lord that healeth thee,
I am the Lord that healeth thee;
Jehovah-Rapha is My Name:
For I am the Lord that healeth thee.
2. I am the Lord that healeth thee,
I am the Lord that healeth thee;
Sickness must flee at My command:
For I am the Lord that healeth thee.
3. I am the Lord that healeth thee,
I am the Lord that healeth thee;
The prayer of faith shall banish disease:
For I am the Lord that healeth thee.
4. I am the Lord that healeth thee,
I am the Lord that healeth thee;
My Name is still as ointment poured forth:
For I am the Lord that healeth thee.
5. I am the Lord that healeth thee,
I am the Lord that healeth thee;
Come and be free from all your pains:
For I am the Lord that healeth thee.
The hymn "I Am the Lord That Healeth Thee" was written by Luther G. Presley in 1921. While there are no extensive records about the personal story behind the writing of this hymn, the inspiration can be traced directly to the biblical passage Exodus 15:26, which emphasizes God’s promise to heal His people.
Presley, a prominent figure in gospel music, wrote the hymn as a declaration of faith in God's healing power. At the time, many people were struggling with physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges, and this hymn offered comfort and reassurance that God had the power to heal and restore. It reflected the growing emphasis on healing ministries and divine intervention during the early 20th century, particularly in the Pentecostal and Holiness movements, where themes of divine healing and miracles were central.
The song's lyrics emphasize God's role as a healer, both in physical and spiritual terms, reminding believers that God is always present to bring restoration to their lives. The hymn has continued to be a source of inspiration and encouragement for Christians, particularly during times of sickness or distress.
