Meaning & Inspiration
Released in 2003 as part of the compilation album *God Will Make a Way: The Best of Don Moen*, "I Am The God That Healeth" stands as a powerful and direct declaration of divine healing, rooted deeply in Old Testament promises. The song’s profound message centers on God's unchanging nature as a healer, a truth echoed throughout Scripture and powerfully articulated in this worship anthem. Its genesis lies in the foundational biblical assurance found in Exodus 15:26, where God declares, "If you diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, your healer." This verse is not merely a historical account; it's a covenantal promise, a testament to God’s active involvement in the well-being of His people. The song effectively translates this ancient covenant into a contemporary personal testimony, shifting from God’s declaration about Himself to the individual’s experience of His healing power. The repetition of "I am the Lord your Healer" serves as an affirmation, anchoring the listener in the truth that this is not a forgotten promise but a present reality. This core message is further reinforced by references to God’s Word as the instrument of healing, as stated in the lyrics, "I sent My Word, and I healed your disease." This aligns directly with Psalm 107:20, which proclaims, "He sent out his word and healed them, and drew them out of their destructions." The power of God’s spoken word, which brought creation into being, is also the force that overcomes sickness and disease. The song’s structure, moving from God's self-identification to the individual’s acknowledgment and experience, creates a profound sense of relational intimacy. It invites the listener to not just hear about God’s healing but to actively receive it, to confess Him as their Healer, and to testify to His faithfulness in their own lives. This active engagement is crucial, as faith is often depicted in the Bible as a response to God's promises. The lyrical journey is a powerful reminder that God’s redemptive work encompasses not only spiritual salvation but also physical restoration, a holistic healing that speaks to His complete care for humanity.
