BETHANY

A place of peace of and healing,
for the broken, fearful heart,
for the trampled and despairing,
for His blessings to impart.

A place for reconciliation,
for tears and making clean,
the inner darkened chambers,
that by God are ever seen.

To rise up from the ashes,
of a past made fertile ground,
and accept the love of Jesus,
all His graces that abound.

Rise up daughters of the King,
put on your royal dress,
and praise the God of miracles,
for your new found happiness.

Rest in His most Sacred Heart,
with the purifying flame,
He’ll hold you in His loving care,
and you’ll never be the same.
