Healing God
Healing God,
come to my hidden corners
open the doors to my soul rooms that are tightly locked.
Awaken in me, bring to life all my deadness.
Enthuse the depressed emotions.
Reenergize my inner weariness.
Bathe the grime of my ego - centredness.
Clarify my confusions
Fire my neglected loves
Brush off my dusty dreams
Nurture my spiritual hungers
Easy my sore relationships
Deepen my sense of self esteem
Stir up my connection with the world
Tenderly gather in your arms
All that remains wounded and wanting
May I grow each day into greater wholeness with a stronger, purer inner freedom.
