He Is Just the Same Today
Have you ever heard of Jesus, How He came from heaven to earth, With a name of mighty virtue, Though by very humble birth? When the world was held in bondage Under Satan’s dismal sway, Jesus healed their dread diseases—He is just the same today.
Do you see the people gather Round that great and holy man, Bringing all the sick and suffering, Coming to Him all who can? See Him look with great compassion As they fainted by the way; How He called them gently to Him! He is just the same today.
See Him touch the trembling leper, Hear the words, “I will,” “Be clean”; See the suffering one with fever Rise and go about again; See the palsied man rejoicing, Take his bed and walk away, What a wondrous man was Jesus! He is just the same today.
Do you hear the blind man calling, Crying out with all his might, In his sorrow plead for mercy, “Son of David, give me sight”? Jesus stopped and called the beggar, “’Tis by faith,” I hear Him say, And He healed him in a moment—He is just the same today.
As He went up to the city, See Him at Bethesda’s pool, With the man so long in bondage, Asking if He would be whole. Instantly the Savior heals him: “Sin no more,” I hear Him say. This He says to every sufferer: “Rise!” He’s just the same today.
See the woman, weak and fainting, Pressing through the restless throng: See, she only touched His garment, And her sore disease was gone. See, another bound by Satan, Eighteen years, I hear them say: Jesus touches her, she straightens—He is just the same today.
Thus He went about His mission, Healing lame, and blind, and dumb, Casting out all evil spirits, Saying to the weak, “Be strong.” Then He died on cruel Calvary, Sin and death to put away: But the tomb could not retain Him—He’s our living Christ today.
Jesus died that He might ransom Everyone from Satan’s thrall, But He rose a mighty conqueror, Offering life and health to all. Up to heaven He ascended, Sent the Spirit back to stay. Dwelling in His holy people, He is just the same today.
See Him now with John and Peter, And the lame man as he lay, Who was healed through faith in Jesus; He is just the same today As He was to His disciples, If we but believe as they, He is not an absent Savior: Brother, He is here today.
Oh, that precious, loving Jesus, His compassion still the same Toward poor sinful, suffering mortals Who seek refuge in His name. Hear the blessed invitation, Whosoever will come, may, And receive His healing favor; For He’s just the same today.
Is it true that every sickness May be laid at Jesus feet, All my trouble, care, and sorrow, and I rest in joy complete? Yes! My brother, every sadness, If by faith to Him you pray, He’ll remove, with tender mercy; For He’s just the same today.
Just the same today, my brother: Saving, healing, cleansing all. Ready, willing, calling, cheering, All who seek Him, great and small. Come to Him, poor weary sufferer, Not a moment more delay, He will give you boundless blessings: For He’s just the same today.
