Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #555 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Here, Savior, in this quiet place,
where anyone may kneel,
I also come to ask for grace,
believing you can heal.
2 If pain of body, stress of mind,
destroys my inward peace,
In prayer for others may I find
the secret of release.
3 If self upon its sickness feeds
and turns my life to gall,
Let me not brood upon my needs,
but simply tell you all.
4 You never said “You ask too much,”
to any troubled soul.
I long to feel your healing touch -
will you not make me whole?
5 But if the thing I most desire
is not your way for me,
May faith, when tested in the fire,
prove its integrity.
6 Of all my prayers, may this be chief:
till faith is fully grown,
Lord, disbelieve my unbelief,
and claim me as your own. Topics: Faith and Aspiration; Healing; Pain and Suffering; Year B Proper 21 Scripture: James 5:13-16 Languages: English Tune Title: CHATHAM
