Text needing melody
This is a song I wrote for trauma survivors; there are many in my church family. I hope to sing this over them one day, in the right setting. I have a working melody but it might be a little predictable, so I'm looking for other ideas.
God of comfort, God of healing,
We invite your Spirit here.
Sit beside us in our grieving,
Catch our shed and unshed tears.
Help us lay our burdens on your shoulders,
Learn to trust you with our pain.
You can surely bear our grief and anger
And will never turn away.
God of comfort, God of healing,
May we taste your perfect peace?
Give us patience in the waiting
For the wounds yet to be healed.
When we wrestle with a past still with us,
And a body keeping score,
You are present in the mess and chaos -
Help our spirits to let go. (Help us in our letting go?)
God of comfort, God of healing,
Through your trauma and your death,
Lead us to a deeper freedom
We will claim with every breath:
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven,
Broken willingly for us,
Weaving light through every strand of darkness
‘Til the night is overcome.
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven,
Broken willingly for us,
Weaving light through every strand of darkness
‘Til the night is overcome.
