Heart Healer


“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds… Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite.” (Psalm 147:3,5).  “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away” (Revelation 21:4). 
                                                                      
Our Lord and Savior surely knows
The way to heal broken hearts:
He binds the wounds of all our woes,
With mercy He alone imparts. 

The Man of Sorrows understands
The anguish of our darkest hour. 
He shows His feet, His side, and hands
As tokens of His healing power!

How far the Lord of glory came
To be acquainted with our grief! 
Upon the cross He bore our shame;
He shed His blood for our relief! 

We see His handiwork displayed
In every corner of creation!
The universe by Him was made,  
Yet still we needed His salvation.

The Gift of God that makes us fit
Is rightly called “Unspeakable!”
His love for us is infinite: 
He tasted death for every soul! 

Our God can never compromise
His justice that our sins require,  
Yet gave Himself to dry our eyes
And save us from the lake of fire!

The Lord shall wipe away all tears,
And death no more shall then remain. 
Our God shall quiet all our fears;
In heaven there shall be no pain. 

The former things shall soon be gone,
And everlasting joy shall be
Our lot in heaven with the dawn
That shines for all eternity.

O Lord, we thank You the healing
That You have paid so much to give!
What love for us You were revealing
By dying so that we might live! 

We pray, Lord, that we may be sent
To others needing healing too,
As You persuade them to repent
And place their trust alone in You.
