"Healing in its Wings"
Music and Lyrics: Glenda B. Schales, 2000 O, Father, I do sin, And my heart breaks deep within; For You have sought me, Yet I turn away from all Your loving care. So often do I fall, Yet You reach out again, Lifting my burden That is more than I can ever bear. Through your beloved son, There is grace so undeserved; How can I ever Sin against the One Who makes my heart to sing? So weak I need your help So unto you I do turn Then light of morning Rises up with healing in its wings. Do not delay, oh God, Oh be gracious and forgiving; In your compassion Through the Son you gave in pain and selflessness Against you do I sin Yet through you do I live Ever to please you Ever praising all your righteousness. My broken contrite heart Is so worthless in my sight; But You restore it, Give it peace and joy to love and follow You. O, may I ever strive To live pure in Your sight, Filled with Your goodness, Free to glorify and honor You. |
