#617: We Come to You for Healing, Lord
Another case where the tune name probably refers to a different text that the melody originally went with and looks incongruous in this context, this one is called "Martyrdom." Welp.
I like the line about "when nights are long with wakefulness"--even when I'm relatively healthy I sometimes can't sleep and start freaking out in terms of "what if I can't get back to sleep? what if I'm just screwed up tomorrow?" As a little kid I was once unable to sleep before a test in school and I felt God's presence in answering a prayer to let me get sleep...I don't know, God works in odd ways when you're little. Also when you're not.
