Oh wounded world when will you know
Almighty God who loves you so
As you slip and slide
He holds fast and clings
Keeping safe the smallest of things
His children broken
Saddened by suffering and trials
Not listening when He has spoken
Wandering lost as they travel the miles
Cast out dark shadows
Reach now for the sunlight
Breathe deeply the air fresh each day
While His Love surrounds you
And His Hand leads The Way
We are made to live sown deeply within God’s Heart
Not ever to be apart
Standing alone without Him
“Come Home”, He says
“And I will wait
Patiently and lovingly at that Strait Gate”
Where rivers of Living Water ripple
And splash over the edge
Falling like drops of silver starlight
So bright
Hear their sound as they run
Then flow in these
As their wondrous Gift is won.
