Come Healing

O, gather up the brokenness
 Bring it to me now
 The fragrance of those promises
 You never dared to vow
 The splinters that you carried
 The cross you left behind
 Come healing of the body
 Come healing of the mind
 And let the heavens hear it
 The penitential hymn
 Come healing of the spirit
 Come healing of the limb
 Behold the gates of mercy
 In arbitrary space
 And none of us deserving
 Of cruelty or the grace
 O, solitude of longing
 Where love has been confined
 Come healing of the body
 Come healing of the mind
 O, see the darkness yielding
 That tore the light apart
 Come healing of the reason
 Come healing of the heart
 O, troubledness concealing
 An undivided love
 The heart beneath is teaching
 To the broken heart above
 And let the heavens falter
 Let the earth proclaim
 Come healing of the altar
 Come healing of the name
 O, longing of the branches
 To lift the little bud
 O, longing of the arteries
 To purify the blood
 And let the heavens hear it
 The penitential hymn
 Come healing of the spirit
 Come healing of the limb
 O let the heavens hear it
 The penitential hymn
 Come healing of the spirit
 Come healing of the limb
