Are you longing for peace in your heart and your soul,
are you longing for peace in your thoughts and your dreams?
Then call upon Jesus, invite him to come
with mercy and healing and blessings in hand...
Are you weary and restless - maybe burned out?
Have you lost your patience with things great and small?
Then call upon Jesus, invite him to come
with mercy and healing and blessings in hand...
Are you tired of masking, of a variant's threat?
Has the virus infected your social well-being?
Then call upon Jesus, invite him to come
with mercy and healing and blessings in hand...
Are your spirits drooping, are you feeling blue?
Has the holiday rush got you down and out?
Then call upon Jesus, invite him to come
with mercy and healing and blessings in hand...
Is your family in trouble? Divided or broken?
Have your very best efforts not yet made for peace?
Then call upon Jesus, invite him to come
with mercy and healing and blessings in hand...
Does the news make you fear what's ahead for our nation?
Have anger and arguing cost you some friends?
Then call upon Jesus, invite him to come
with mercy and healing and blessings in hand...
Whatever your problem, your burden, your pain,
whatever weighs heavy this Advent on you,
just call upon Jesus, invite him to come
with mercy and healing and blessings in hand...
Protect us, Lord while we're wide awake
and watch over us while we sleep
that awake, we all keep the watch with you
and asleep, find rest in your peace...
Amen.
Come Healing by Leonard Cohen

O gather up the brokenness
And bring it to me now
The fragrance of those promises
You never dared to vow
The splinters that you carry
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
The 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 troubled dust concealing
An undivided love
The heart beneath is teaching
To the broken heart above
O let the heavens falter
And 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
