Lyrics

Come Healing

[Intro: Choir Voices]

O gather up the brokenness and bring it to me now

The fragrance of those promises you never dared to vow

The splinters that you carry, the cross you left behind

Come healing of the body

Come healing of the mind

And let the heavens hear it, the penitential hymn

Come healing of the spirit

Come healing of the limb

[Verse 1: Leonard Cohen and Choir Voices]

Behold the gates of mercy in arbitrary space

And none of us deserving, the cruelty or the grace

O solitude of longing where love has been confined

Come healing of the body

Come healing of the mind

O see the darkness yielding, that tore the light apart

Come healing of the reason

Come healing of the heart

[Verse 2: Leonard Cohen and Choir Voices]

O troubled dust concealing, an undivided love

The Heart beneath is teaching to the broken Heart above

O let the heavens falter and let the earth proclaim:

Come healing of the Altar

Come healing of the Name

[Outro: Choir Voices and Leonard Cohen]

O longing of the branches to lift the little bud

O longing of the arteries to purify the blood

And let the heavens hear it, the penitential hymn

Come healing of the spirit

Come healing of the limb

O let the heavens hear it, the penitential hymn

Come healing of the spirit

Come healing of the limb
