‘Let the bandages be shed’

Let the bandages be shed.
Lift your body from the bed.
Let it never be the same.
We’ve been stricken for to long.
Make us bold and make us strong.
Make us worthy of your name.

I thank you Lord for your hand of healing,
You gave when sickness laid me low.
And once my mind, it was troubled and stumbling.
You gave your peace to me I know.
But now’s the time for the church to be strong,
Dressed and ready for the day

Lord there were times when my feet made away from You.
But You forgave and turned me ’round.
When doubt and fear, tall as cliffs overshadowed me,
You bore me safe to higher ground.
But now’s the time for the church to be strong,
Dressed and ready for the day
