Song Review

"The Hurt & 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 the 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.

This song has really touched me as I look back over the past 10 months. Why is a question that comes to mind immediately, especially during tragedy. On earth, we contemplate this often & keep stating that we'll get answers when we get to Heaven. But I hope that God can remove all of my curiosities when I reach His presence. I fight each day especially since our two miscarriages & the ups/downs of this current pregnancy. Thank you Lord for your comfort, peace, & strength because we cannot live out this life without You.
