Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wounded world that cries for healing -
here we hold each other's pain,
wounded systems,
bruised and bleeding bear the load,
the scars of strain; dollars ration out compassion,
hard decisions rule the day,
Jesus of the healing Spirit,
free us to another way!
2 Through our nation's spent frustration,
through the corridors of stress
may there move a kindlier wisdom
all my feel, and all may bless;
tax and tithe are for a purpose
shared to shield the poor and weak;
past the symptoms of our sickness
let the voice of justice speak.
3 Honor those whose loving spirit
nurses hope, restores and heals,
towel and basin used in service
like the Christ who comes and kneels;
in the tending, in the mending
may we see the right and fair,
in our common quest for wholeness
heal each other by our care. Used With Tune: HEALING SPIRIT
