Come Healing
Leonard Cohen Lyrics
Come Healing Lyrics
Come Healing by Leonard Cohen
O, gather 'round the brokenness
Bring it to me now
The fragrance of those promises
You never dared to vow
The splinters that you carried
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
Leonard:
Behold the gates of mercy
In arbitrary space
And none of us deserving
Of cruelty or the grace
Together:
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
O, troubledness concealing
An undivided love
The heart beneath is teaching
To the broken heart above
And let the heavens utter
Let the earth proclaim
Come healing of the altar
Come healing of the name
Chorus:
O, longing of the branches
To lift the little bird
O, longing of the arteries
To purify the blood
Together:
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
