1 - A Song for Comfort Before Surgery

One

A Song for Comfort Before Surgery
For H.J.L.

Listen!

Because I know You hear me
As I fear this unkown I must enter,
Surrendering my self, my authority,
If only for a brief while.

Listen!

Becuase I know You will hear
As I praise You at this season
Spreading warmth of renewal over cold earth,
Even as my soul’s chill is warmed.

Listen!

Because I know You are there:
Hearing me,
Warming me,
Renewing me,
Leading me through this time
To a place of health and vigor.
