Contemporary Christian supergroup MercyMe is returning with a new single! Titled The Hurt and the Healer, the song is a moving declaration of faith in a God Who is capable of healing even the most painful of wounds, all for His glory, and that we may trust in Him totally. Oftentimes, God’s plan for us isn’t clear, and The Hurt and the Healer just speaks such comfort to those who are wondering why He lets us go through what we are going through.
Side note: The Hurt and the Healer is available for pre-ordering on MercyMe’s website, with a scheduled release date on May 22. The website’s offering a variety of pre-order specials, including one that gets you the CD, an exclusive advance download of The Hurt and the Healer, a The Hurt and the Healer t-shirt, and an exclusive engraved “Hello Somebody” watch (created by a Christian organization that feeds and educates third-world kids). That’s a pretty sweet deal.
THE HURT AND THE HEALER Lyrics
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
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
