He is

God is not wrath, which rears in disgust
God is not pride, that empty mask of a lonely heart
God is not fear, the sickening and the cold
God is not grief, broken and desolate
God is not pain, the nails and the cross
God is not death, anguish or Hell


God is not any of these things, no not a single one
But all through the world, these labels are given
By those who are angry, afraid, or alone
To He who is merciful, encouraging, and a friend
A friend to the sinner, the orphan, the hurt
A friend who accepts us, even when we fall short


He is the Forgiver, who helps us to change
He is the Friend, who listens and cares
He is the Master, who erases our doubts
He is the Comforter, who wipes away our tears--self-inflicted or not
He is the Healer, the physician of our heart
And when he has healed us, from the wounds of this world
He is the Savior, who welcomes us Home.
This was inspired by Malachi 4:2
"...the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings..."

The savior truly is the healer of all things.
He healed Paul, Alma the Younger, and the people of Ammon from their sin. He healed Hannah, Elizabeth, and Sarah's broken hearts. He healed Moses, Enoch and Jeremiah of their fear. He healed Malchus, Lazarus, and the Leper physically. He healed Esau and Jonah of their anger. He healed Nephi and Joseph Smith of their anguish. And if we are faithful and come unto him, he will heal us. There is nothing that the Savior cannot heal!
