Verse 1
We cannot measure how you heal 
or answer every sufferer’s prayer, 
yet we believe your grace responds 
where faith and doubt unite to care. 
Your hands, though bloodied on the cross, 
survive to hold and heal and warn, 
to carry all through death to life 
and cradle children yet unborn. 
 
Verse 2
The pain that will not go away, 
the guilt that clings from things long past, 
the fear of what the future holds, 
are present as if meant to last. 
But present too is love which tends 
the hurt we never hoped to find, 
the private agonies inside, 
the memories that haunt the mind. 
 
Verse 3}
So some have come who need your help 
and some have come to make amends, 
as hands which shaped and saved the world 
are present in the touch of friends. 
Lord, let your Spirit meet us here 
to mend the body, mind and soul, 
to disentangle peace from pain, 
and make your broken people whole.
