Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, gather up the brokenness

Bring it to me now

The fragrance of those promises

You never dared to vow

[Verse 2]

The splinters that you carried

The cross you left behind

Come healing of the body

Come healing of the mind

[Verse 3]

And let the heavens hear it

The penitential hymn

Come healing of the spirit

Come healing of the limb

[Verse 4]

Behold the gates of mercy

In arbitrary space

And none of us deserving

Of cruelty or the grace

[Verse 5]

Oh, solitude of longing

Where love has been confined

Come healing of the body

Come healing of the mind

[Verse 6]

Oh, see the darkness yielding

That tore the light apart

Come healing of the reason

Come healing of the heart

[Verse 7]

Oh, troubled dust concealing

An undivided love

The heart beneath is teaching

To the broken heart above

[Verse 8]

Let the heavens falter

Let the earth proclaim

Come healing of the altar

Come healing of the name

[Verse 9]

Oh, longing of the branches

To lift the little bud

Oh, longing of the arteries

To purify the blood

[Verse 10]

And let the heavens hear it

The penitential hymn

Come healing of the spirit

Come healing of the limb

[Verse 11]

Oh, let the heavens hear it

The penitential hymn

(Penitential)

Come healing of the spirit

Come healing of the limb
