Intimacy of the Healer

IN my blindness, Your hand guides
IN my deafness, Your hearing is flawless
IN my muteness, You interpret my heart’s meditation

THOUGH my anguish persists, Your love prevails
THOUGH my nights are sleepless, Your mercy rules the dawn
THOUGH weariness hounds me, Your strength renews

WHEN tears refuse to stop, You validate the deepest pain
WHEN doubts infect my mind, Your patience is my shield
WHEN enemy arrows inflame my heart, Your presence quenches the burning

In You, I am
In You, I hold together
In You, I heal

In You, I LOVE

From this day forth and for eternity
