We have received the
good news,
the good news in
which we stand,
through which we are
being saved.
The blind received
their sight,
the lame and lepers
were healed;
the deaf heard, the
dead were raised;
and good news was
brought to the poor.
Good news is of no
value unless believed,
nor is good advice if
it is not followed.
Our hope is in you,
Lord Jesus--
in your great power
to redeem.
