Wounded Whispers

A Taizé-style sung litany

Refrain (sung softly, repeat):

Praise be to You, my Lord, through all creation…
Praise be to You, my Lord, through all creation…

Verses (chanted or spoken between refrains):

• The wounds of Love marked Francis’ hands —
  We see Your wounds upon the earth.
• He embraced the leper, the lost, the small —
  We see Your wounds upon the earth.
• He called the sun and moon his kin —
  We see Your wounds upon the earth.
• The earth now cries, the poor now plead —
  We see Your wounds upon the earth.
• Teach us to heal what we have harmed —
  We see Your wounds upon the earth.

(Return to Refrain, repeat gently)

Praise be to You, my Lord, through all creation…
Praise be to You, my Lord, through all creation…
