In a World Deep in Suffering

In a world deep in suffering
I'm in need of rescuing
I have come with an offering
Unto change and subduing

For this day I have waited
To be healed unto cleansing
My needs aren't understated
As I long for peace and sensing

Long ago, Christ endured bleeding
Him, whom I love with reverence
Does call "come," with kind pleading
"And repent," unto rememb'rance

Do you know I've come early?
To prepare my mind and heart
I'm waiting most mannerly
To renew and to restart

Do you see the start of tears?
I cannot contain my joy
The hymn starts, I know what nears!
And I sing unto great joy!

To be clean, to be pure once more
To be free and filled with His light
Thrills me inside to the very core
Unto hope that is lovely and bright
