More bird song! This is a beautiful and singable song from Bob Hurd that has lots of liturgical uses – healing services, times of trauma etc.
It can purchased for download at OCP. You can hear the original at Bob Hurd’s My Space page.
Bob Hurd talks about the song and has the lyrics in this video.
Since the lyrics are out there I’ll reproduce them here – I need to hear “you will not be left comfortless” sometimes.
Verse 1
As the rain first falls and then,
then it flows away,
first you’ll feel and then forget,
then forget your pain
Refrain
God’s eye is on the sparrow
and sees your darkest night;
you will not be left comfortless,
for you are God’s delight.
Verse 2
Now your heart it feels like,
like an open wound;
once so full of life and joy,
now an empty room.
Refrain
