There are still more Patricia Smith songs in the digital archive of As One Voice. This is an unusually contrite song for Eucharist with a special relevance in Lent.
The sheet music can be purchased at Willow.
Sing along with my backing to learn the song:
1 Lord, who of us can say we have not sinned?
And who of us can cast the first stone?
Our weaknesses you know, O Lord, and still you call us.
Refrain
And so we com to you for healing.
Lord, we come, you set us free.
Lord, we come with hands uplifted.
Lord, we come, and we receive.
2 Thirsting for your love, O Lord we come,
When every other heart is closed.
When every face is turned away, you reach out to us.
3 We stumble in the darkness, O Lord,
Searching for the light of your truth,
Till you open up our eyes and we can see you clearly.
4 When we lose our way you call us home once more,
We long for your forgiveness and peace.
Then your gentle arms, enfold us and you lift us to you.
