Oyaresafo Kese (The Great Physician)

INTRO — SPOKEN OVER SOFT ORGAN "I am the LORD that healeth thee." Exodus fifteen, twenty-six. VERSE 1 — TENDER, GUITAR AND ORGAN The blind man cried beside the road, The crowd said, "Hold your peace"; But Jesus stopped, and Jesus called, And darkness had to cease. A woman reached to touch His hem When every cure was gone— One touch, and she was made whole, And faith had carried on. CHORUS — CHOIR ENTERS Oyaresafo Kese, Yesu! The Great Physician, You! Oyaresafo Kese, Yesu! There is nothing You cannot do. The wounded, the weary, the broken, the low— You touch, and the healing begins to flow. Oyaresafo Kese, Yesu! VERSE 2 — FULLER, DRUMS ENTER "The whole need no physician," So the Master said, "I came to call the sinners home"— And He raised the lost and dead. He touched the leper no one touched, He spoke, and Lazarus rose; No case too hard, no hour too late, No wound the Healer can't close. CHORUS Oyaresafo Kese, Yesu! The Great Physician, You! Oyaresafo Kese, Yesu! There is nothing You cannot do. The wounded, the weary, the broken, the low— You touch, and the healing begins to flow. Oyaresafo Kese, Yesu! VERSE 3 — QUIET, TESTIMONY, PIANO AND VOICE I have known the healer's craft, The scan, the chart, the art; But only You can mend the soul, And heal the broken heart. And when the body does not mend, Your grace is still enough; For by His stripes we all are healed— And held by perfect love. BRIDGE — PRAISE, CLAPPING, CALL AND RESPONSE Lead: Who opens blind eyes? Choir: Yesu! Lead: Who cleanses the leper? Choir: Yesu! Lead: Who raises the fallen? Choir: Yesu! Lead: Who heals the broken heart? Choir: Yesu! Yesu! All: Nyame, medaase! Nyame, medaase! MUSICAL LIFT — BRASS, TALKING DRUM AND FULL CHOIR FINAL CHORUS — JOYFUL Oyaresafo Kese, Yesu! The Great Physician, You! Oyaresafo Kese, Yesu! There is nothing You cannot do. The wounded, the weary, the broken, the low— You touch, and the healing begins to flow. Oyaresafo Kese, Yesu! Oyaresafo Kese, Yesu! OUTRO — SLOWER, ORGAN AND CHOIR With His stripes, we are healed… Oyaresafo Kese… SPOKEN — SOFTLY "I am the LORD that healeth thee." Amen. END
