Words Can Heal

I have always had a thing with words. Words can mean everything. Words can hurt. Words can heal. They 

can make your day or ruin your day. People remember things you say.

Song lyrics especially have always had a way of speaking to me. I cannot love a song until I have read the lyrics. It’s funny, because my husband tells me he feels like the melody and music is the most important part of a song to him. He loves the melody, and I love the words. Maybe someday we will write a song together.

The Lyrics to “Your Hands” by JJ Heller is one of my favorites. It really speaks to so many areas of my life-

especially my struggle with Crohn’s disease or other hard times I go through.

I wanted to share these lyrics. J

Your Hands

I have unanswered prayers

I have trouble I wish wasn’t there

And I have asked a thousand ways

That you would take my pain away

You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand

How to walk this weary land

Make straight the paths that crooked lie

Oh Lord before these feet of mine

Oh Lord before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking, Heaven stands

When my heart is breaking

I never leave your hands

When you walked upon the earth

You healed the broken, lost and hurt

I know you hate to see me cry

One day you will set all things right

Yeah, one day you will set all things right

When my world is shaking, Heaven stands

When my heart is breaking

I never leave your hands

Your hands that shaped the world

Are holding me

They hold me still

Your hands that shaped the world

Are holding me

They hold me still

When my world is shaking, heaven stands

When my hear tis breaking

I never leave you

When my world is shaking, heaven stands

When my heart is breaking

I never leave you

I never leave your hands

When my world is shaking, when life is hard, when my stomach is hurting me, when life seems unfair, heaven stands. Jesus is standing by my side. He is strong, and he never leaves me.

Happy Friday J
