In the Blink of an Eye

Oh, God, give me no more than a passing thought,

Let my plight pass but fleetingly through Your mind,

And I will be healed.

In Your love, my Lord,

Your thoughts for me outnumber the grains of sand on the beach

And I trust I will be healed.

My physical pain is temporary,

Healed and long forgotten in a blink of Your kind eye.

I beg you, God, but blink!

And Lord, as I wait for Your eye to open,

Turn Your attention to the needs of my heart,

And for them blink again.
