The Hurt and the Healer by MercyMe
Why? The question that is never far away The healing doesn’t come from the explained Jesus please don’t let this go in vain You’re all I have All that remains So here I am What’s left of me Where glory meets my suffering I’m alive Even though a part of me has died You take my heart and breathe it back to life I’ve fallen into Your arms open wide When the hurt and the healer collide Breathe Sometimes I feel it’s all that I can do Pain so deep that I can hardly move Just keep my eyes completely fixed on You Lord take hold and pull me through So here I am What’s left of me Where glory meets my suffering I’m alive Even though a part of me has died You take my heart and breathe it back to life I’ve fallen into your arms open wide When the hurt and the healer collide It’s the moment when humanity Is overcome by majesty When grace is ushered in for good And all our scars are understood When mercy takes its rightful place And all these questions fade away When out of the weakness we must bow And hear You say “It’s over now” I’m alive Even though a part of me has died You take my heart and breathe it back to life I’ve fallen into your arms open wide When The hurt and the healer collide Jesus come and break my fear Awake my heart and take my tears Find Your glory even here When the hurt and the healer collide [x2] Jesus come and break my fear Awake my heart and take my tears Find Your glory even here
It can be difficult at times when you’re hurting or struggling with life, and that’s why some of the words in this song as so real to me, particularly at the moment…
Breathe Sometimes I feel it’s all that I can do Pain so deep that I can hardly move Just keep my eyes completely fixed on You Lord take hold and pull me through
The song mentions pain, and in life that pain can be physical and/or emotional, however whichever it is, they are both equally difficult to cope with.
Yes, I’m struggling, and yes I’m struggling physically and emotionally, but I do still believe God is with me and despite my pain, He will keep hold of me, and He will pull me through.
If you’re struggling, please don’t forget that God can heal your hurt if you just keep your eyes completely fixed on Him.
