I slept in this morning.  For me, sleeping in means anything but getting up at 5 or 5:30 a.m.  Sleeping in means NOT setting my alarm and just waking up naturally.  I love mornings like this.

This morning I woke up and heard music first thing.  My sons like sleeping in the basement on Friday nights and one had left his clock radio on the weekly wakeup setting.

When I entered his room to turn off his clock radio, I heard this.

Wow.  Love this song.  The lyrics are so good and a fresh reminder that life is a gift, even the hard days.  And what do we do then?  RUN, don’t walk, to Jesus.  The healer of our souls.  He is so good.

The Hurt and the Healer, 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 our 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 [x2]

Jesus come and break my fear
Awake my heart and take my tears
Find Your glory even here
