Say a Word, say a Word
And I’ll be whole

Meaning & Inspiration
“Say a Word” by Dr. Sarah K is a live song of faith for healing, based on one request: “Speak a Word and I will be whole.” The intro says the Lord’s Word is enough, and the chorus repeats the request many times. The refrains then move from “I will be whole” to “I will be well,” with the leader asking the room whether they believe.
A Swahili refrain follows, “Sema Neno, nitapona,” which means “Say a word, I will be healed,” with English prompts to tell Him and to believe. The outro adds clapping, cheering and a closing line that one Word from the Lord can turn everything around.
The song is close to Matthew 8:8, where the centurion says, “Only say the word, and my servant will be healed,” and to Psalm 107:20 and Isaiah 55:11 on God’s word that heals and does not return empty. The language is plain and fits a gathered congregation.
