This is one of my favorite songs at the moment. If you’re not familiar with the song you can read the lyrics here.
God has been reminding me of past sins and hurts lately. It stinks. To be honest, it’s overwhelming, and I’ve spent time crying, and crying out to God. Crying out to God for healing. Because only God has the healing power that so many of us need.
This is one of the verses:
We are healed by Your sacrifice
And the life that You gave
We are healed for You paid the price
By Your grace we are saved
We are saved
I love this song, based on Isaiah 53: 5, because it reminds me of the sacrifice Jesus made for my sins. Because Jesus died on the cross for my sins, I’m healed. By his grace I’m saved. What an amazing and wonderful things He did for me! He did it for me AND for you too!
By his grace I’m not just saved from eternal separation from Jesus. He’s also saved me from so many other life situations. I’ve learned to turn to Jesus for healing. It’s a process. It may be a stinkin’ long process. But I trust God and I believe with all my heart, mind and soul that God is good. So I will not give up hope that Jesus will heal my hurts.
Hearing this song is always a reminder and encouragement to me.

What a great post and a great reminder of how we need to preach ########## to ourselves EVRYDAY. One of my favorite verses is Jer. 17:14 Heal me O Lord and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one that I praise.
I HIGHLY recommend Kay Arthur’s on your own bible study called Lord, Heal My Hurts. This bible study changed my life years ago. We should probably offer it at church again sometime! He is Jehova-Rapha. The God who heals and like you said-that is our hope!

Yes, it is a great song! And I agree with Ruthie about the Kay Arthur study, Lord Heal my Hurts. I did it several years ago on my own when I first became a Christian. It was really good! I should probably even look through it again now.
