Come to Me Like a Cry of Joy
When my life sinks in sadness,
come to me like a cry of joy.
Come, Lord Jesus Christ!
When my heart is as hard as a rock,
come to me like a dew of springtime.
Come, Lord Jesus Christ!
When noise invades my haven,
come to me like an oasis of silence.
Come, Lord Jesus Christ!
When the wind of hate rises within me,
come to me like a kiss of pardon.
Come, Lord Jesus Christ!
When I am sinking into the darkness of death,
come to me like a child’s smile.
Come, Lord Jesus Christ!
And when the earth encloses me in its arms,
open for me the doors of your mercy.
Come, Lord Jesus Christ! (Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
