Manoling Francisco, SJ
If I could touch You, I'd heal Your broken palms.
If I could hold You in my arms.
I'd call the soft breeze to caress Your weary arms.
I'd call the moon beam to dispel this darkest night.
If I could touch You, I would.
If I could hear You, Your words of anguish,
If You'll just whisper in my ear.
The sadness weighing down Your heart that no man sees.
If You'd just call me, I would sing of flaming hope.
If I could hear You, I would.
Long have I waited for you to hear My cry.
Long have I waited for you to answer My plea.
What you do to you brethren, You do it for Me.
I am in the brokennes and woundedness of man.
Counterpoint:
Yes, you can (touch/hear) Me
I'm in the least of your brethren, I'm in the weak and small.
I need your hands to bear My weary arms.
I need your touch to heal My woundedness palms.
Yes, you can touch Me.
If I could hear You, Your words of anguish,
If YOu'd just whisper in my ear.
The sadness weighing down YOur heart that no man sees.
If You just call me I would sing of flaming hope.
If I could hear You, If I could touch You, I would.
