Author: Daniel Charles Damon, 1955- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #238 (2013) Meter: 9.9.9.9 Scripture: John 20:26-29 Lyrics: 1 Blessed is the body and the soul,
blessed is the broken one made whole;
blessed is the taste of wine and bread,
blessed is the rising from the dead.
2 Touch the wounded places as we meet;
feel my hands, my side, my head, my feat.
Touch me,Thomas, touch and doubt no more.
I am Christ, alive forevermore.
3 Touch the wounded heart of God today,
feel the pulse within this bit of clay:
love redeemed my body and my soul.
Thomas, feel the broken one made whole.
4 Blessed is the heart that can receive,
blessed is the one who learns to grieve;
blessed are the ashes and the dust,
blessed is the one who learns to trust. Topics: Ash Wednesday; Blessing; Brokenness; Communion; Continuing Revelation; Easter; Grief; Healing; Redemption; Renewal; Trust Languages: English Tune Title: LEE
