This is another Peter Grant song from the As One Voice digital archive. It is noted there to be suitable for a Second Rite of Reconciliation, but it would work well in Lent. The refrain is for the assembly and the verses may need a cantor. The text is based on Psalm 41:5.
You can purchase the sheet music at As One Voice. There is also a brief instrumental sample to listen to there.
I also made a backing.
Refrain
Lord, heal my soul. for I have sinned against you.
Lord, heal my soul, for I have sinned.
1 Those who ask, receive God’s loving mercy,
Though they fall from grace and sin again.
As for me, I cry “have mercy on me;
Heal my soul for I have caused you pain.”
2 Never fear to call upon his mercy.
Ask for healing, seek God’s tenderness.
As for me, I cry, ” have pity on me;
heal me, comfort me in my distress.”
3 All who seek the Lord will find compassion,
As a child on its mother’s breast.
As for me, Lord, grant me your protection;
Only in your arms my soul can rest.
