Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 103:1-8 Lyrics: 1 O God, to you I cry in pain
when sickness makes me weak,
when mind and body out of tune
bring fears I cannot speak.
2 Give me the strength to face my ill,
to trust in skill and care,
to bless the hands that help me heal,
and find your Spirit there.
3 Remind me I am not alone,
when suffering makes its mark;
be present at my pillow’s side,
and help me through the dark.
4 Within the comfort and the love
that human touch can give,
restore in me a larger sense
of what it is to live.
5 Allow my mind to rest in you,
and let your peace pervade
to hold me in your greater power,
and not to be afraid. Topics: Addiction; Healing; Mental Health; Praying For Ourselves; Suffering Used With Tune: AFFLICTION
