a prayer for mercy

Healing hands of love and mercy
hold us now..
Be the soothing balm that covers us
The shelter that keeps us
The love that strengthens us
The truth that calls forth in us
The strength of Your eternal promises
Send our roots deep into all that You are
No depth of pain, no realm of fear
No lie can undermine Your truth
for You are truth.. Your redemption is complete.
Your life flows into the darkest places in us
Sanctifying who we were and all we will be
Your work is complete..
Give us the strength to walk in it: to truly see it: to believe it.
As men and women grounded in You and alive
Because of You.. we are free.
Hands of love hold us now
Never leave us, or forsake us
Show us all that You are and
Give us the strength to see who we are in You
Wrap us up in You.. make us brave in You..
Give us to purity... that it might have its way with us
Give us to long suffering and perseverance.. that they
May teach us how to fight for love
and forgiveness..
Take us beyond,
Let nothing stand between us Jesus..
Let our hearts be undone because of You
..that we might see Your face and know Your heart...
Shine Your healing love upon us again..
You are the one who fought for us, loved us and made us whole.
When all others turned and abandoned us.. when darkness came
and they did not believe
You stood with us.. You lifted our faces to look into Your eyes of peace and kindness..
You were unashamed
Even now, You are unashamed.
Your amazing love overpowers fear.. Your love conquers doubt..
Miraculous and true, You lean into our spirits: full and complete.
I see the hope in Your eyes.. the love in Your eyes..
Jesus.. be near to us now..
We long to know You, we long to touch Your heart.
Hold us now, in Your beautiful hands of love.
