Meddle in my misery, Lord:
in the places deep inside
where I do my best to keep you out,
where I hide from grace and from the love
that you and others offer...
Meddle in my misery
and touch me where I hurt, Lord;
mend me where I'm broken,
heal my pain, forgive my sins
and save me with the life you gave
for me upon the Cross...
Meddle in my misery,
lest I wallow in self-pity
or take refuge in my pain;
lest I wallow in self-pity
or take refuge in my pain;
free me from my fears, Lord,
then fill my soul with deep and lasting peace...
Meddle in my misery
'til anxiety is history,
adversity a memory,
'til anxiety is history,
adversity a memory,
hostility, tranquility
and all my worries
and all my worries
finally put to rest...
Meddle in my misery
with your kindness and your patience,
with your mercy and your love, Lord,
with your tender, gentle touch,
until I find the peace I seek...
Amen.
