This beautiful poem by Richard Wilbur is quite flexible and may be used as a solo with guitar or piano, and also as a hymn with the entire congregation. 
Stay blessed.

From Brian McLaren:  "This song expresses the same sentiment as 'Losing Faith/Finding Faith' but in a more positive and poetic way.  I wrote it while working on my book by this title.  Many of us have been exploring a more contemplative spirituality in our personal lives, but we have few congegational songs that express it.  I hope people will fee this song does so."  

From CMP: Brian McLaren was on a road Sabbatical for the first 8 months of 2016.  During this time away from the grind of constant travel and preparation for live events Brian wrote, rewrote, compiled, and recorded demos (not finished studio recordings) of 21 songs.  9 of these demos are currently available here on the CMP site, and we are in the process of creating lead sheets and piano arrangements for them.  If you would like to purchase this entire collection of Brian's demo's, lyrics, and some notes he wrote about each song (21 songs for $18), please email Bryan Sirchio, CMP Lead Designer, and he will send you a link you can use to purchase Brian's entire collection.

“Healing of the Heart” is an earnest prayer of confession and hope for healing of the heart and soul. It captures the deep, hard-to-ignore wounds to our souls delivered long ago, wondering how we begin the journey on the road to forgiveness with those who have hurt us. Is God with us in this struggle? Ken’s lyrics confront this question and the very difficult task of healing these painful wounds. The personal nature of this song makes it suitable for solo singing accompanied by either piano alone or by a rhythm section. It is highly appropriate when worship topics center on forgiveness, personal struggle, resolution of conflict, and God’s presence when we take up the challenge to walk these difficult paths.

This a cappella song of resistance combines Epiphany themes of the magi avoiding Herod and going home by another way, alongside images from the song of Mary about the powerful being thrown down and the hungry being filled. An easy, catchy refrain with a Celtic feel is easy for groups to learn. The verses can be sung by a soloist or the group. Learn More
