Someone asked me to post the lyrics of The Broken and The Tired, which is one of our new original songs. I had a good conversation the other day with a friend about the healing power of Jesus. We so often think of healing only in the physical sense, but the power of Jesus to heal is total. No matter the depth of our emotional pain, the regrets from past experiences or the burdens that seem overwhelming, Christ offers rest. He gives peace. He desires to restore us. There is no stronghold that He can't break in our lives. And we offer our lives back to Him as our response of worship.
When I was blind
You gave me sight
You gave me eyes to see the colors of Your sky
When I was deaf
Without a sound
You gave me ears to hear the sounds of Your love
Your love is kind
Your love's the only thing that's perfect in this life
You sent Your son to die
For the broken and the tired
And You healed my life
With my hands raised high
And my heart a burning fire
I'll give my life
To dwell in Your love
When I was weak
With tired feet
You gave me strength to run the race you'd given me
When I was numb
My heart grown cold
You gave me nerves to feel the warmth of Your love
Your love is kind
Your love's the only thing that's perfect in this life
You sent Your son to die
For the broken and the tired
And You healed my life
With my hands raised high
And my heart a burning fire
I'll give my life
To dwell in Your love
Healer, we confess
We were lost in brokenness
Til You came and conquered death
For love
Thanks for sharing the lyrics of that song. Just wondered if it's recorded anywhere? I'd love to hear it too.
Thanks... and please know that many are praying for your two precious girls. These are the times when others can lift you and your wife up, when you just don't have the strength. Your story has gone around the world. Be encouraged that the body of Christ is with you!
Bless ya!
Patty
