1. At the pool we long have been;
Angels cannot put us in;

About Healing Mercy
This devotional anthem by Oliver Holden offers a powerful plea for divine intervention. Set in English for treble and bass voices (SB,TB), it speaks of the deep human need for healing and spiritual deliverance. The text describes the despair of those who seek solace but are passed over, their hearts aching for relief. It then transforms into a confident prayer, asking Jesus to offer his own healing mercy, to free the captive sinner, and to lead them to a place where their needs are met. The piece powerfully articulates the journey from personal suffering to the assurance of divine grace and redemption.
