Gambling addiction healed

Curtis Ray Brown

God comes, with succor speedy, 
To those who suffer wrong; 
To help the poor and needy, 
And bid the weak be strong; 
He comes to break oppression, 
To set the captive free, 
To take away transgression, 
And rule in equity.

His blessings come as showers 
Upon the thirsty earth; 
And joy and hope, like flowers, 
Spring in His path to birth. 
Before Him on the mountains 
Shall Peace, the herald, go; 
From hill to vale the fountains 
Of righteousness shall flow. 

To Him shall prayer unceasing, 
And daily vows, ascend; 
His kingdom still increasing, 
A kingdom without end. 
The tide of time shall never 
His covenant remove; 
His name shall stand forever: 
His changeless name of Love.
