Healing the Spirit

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