Soother

Jesus be soother
   be balm to broken skin
   be oil to weary bones
   be attar to aching heart

Bring joy to my insides
   bring peace to my storm
   bring quiet to my chaos
   bring strength to my body

Life sits upon me
   suffocate and perplex me
   shrink me to mashable size
   shatter my pride

Jesus come like river
   cover me like blanket
   caress me like lover
   carry me forever

Jesus, you be soother
   be balm to broken skin
   be oil to weary bones
   be attar to aching heart
