The Gentle Healer came into our town today
He touched blind eyes and the darkness left to stay
More than the blindness, He took their sins away
The Gentle Healer came into our town today

The Gentle Healer came into our town today
He spoke one word that was all He had to say
The One who had died just rose up straight away
The Gentle Healer came into our town today

Oh, He seems like just in ordinary man
With dirty feet and rough but gentle hands
The words He says are hard to understand
And, Yet, He seems like just and ordinary man

The Gentle Healer, He left our town today
I just looked around and found He'd gone away
Some folks from town had followed Him, They say
That the Gentle Healer is the Truth the Life the Way



Behind the Song:
'For all of you who have been waiting to hear our new vocalist, Amy Perry, and have not been able to come to a concert of ours – here you go!! Amy is the featured vocalist on two of the duets on the new album, as well as adding background vocals to many of the songs. We will have a new bio up on the site soon where you can learn more about Amy, so I won't take extra space here to do that. Suffice it to say that she was sent by God to Selah and has such a wonderful heart (and voice, obviously!). This is a beautiful song by Michael Card from the mid-1980s. I (Allan) have always loved and remembered this song from the first time I heard it. I love a good story-song, and this song paints a wonderful picture of our Savior doing extraordinary things among ordinary people.' - Selah
