You are forgiven my child
You are forgiven my child
I have loved you through it all
You are forgiven my child
Though the enemy pursues
He will not take you from me
Hold on tight through the storm
And I will protect you
I am all you need
I am all you need
Lean on me
And I will hold you close
My child

March 2025 – Parish Encounter Retreat: second day early morning adoration
Here I am
Wounded soul
Seeking Joy
Within my heart
Hold me close
I lay down my love
In the midst of you
Longing to be healed
I fall at your feet
A yearning so strong
Help me to stay near
Take all of me in
Here I am, in the midst of you
Wounded soul, longing to be healed
Seeking joy, I fall at your feet
Within my heart, a yearning so strong
Hold me close, help me to stay near
I lay down my love, take all of me in
Grace-Filled Hope
