The one who longs to make us whole

Author: Edith Sinclair Downing (b. 1922) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Acts 10:38 Lyrics: 1 The one who longs to make us whole is waiting to embrace our broken lives, so we can know the power of healing grace. God's love surrounds our suffering, and keeps us through the night; God helps us bear our deep despair till we see morning light. 2 The one who saves us from ourselves is waiting to release our hearts from chains of self-reproach and failure to find peace. When harmful habits leave us bruised, distraught by inner pain, God comes to us through trusted friends, and helps us hope again. 3 The one who understands our need accepts us as we are; and, like a loved one, welcomes us when we have wandered far. God never says we come too late to be forgiven, free, but promises we can become the self we're meant to be.
