Hands of the Healer

Hands of the Healer
(Jacob R. McGowen)

[1st Verse]
I don’t settle on the present very often
I tend to dwell on the possibilities
Of every single bad thing
That could happen
And of how every change
Could bother me

[Pre-Chorus]
I say I worry for my own protection
To be okay, be sane, and to survive
Yet, I toss and turn in bed in anguish
As I often lose myself and cry
As I often lose myself and cry

[Chorus]
I need the Hands of the Healer
To come and heal my mind and soul
I need the Hands of the Healer
To fill me up and make me whole
I need the Hands of the Healer
To come and heal my mind and soul
I need the Hands of the Healer
To fill me up and make me whole

[2nd Verse]
People talk all day about solutions
And they think that they
All know what’s best
To rid our world of pain
And all its problems
And to ensure we are well and blessed

[Pre-Chorus]
Yet, our hope is not in politicians
Policies, no wars, and party lines
But in a one and reigning, righteous Savior
Who can heal, redeem, and give us life
Who can heal, redeem, and give us life

[2nd Chorus]
We need the Hands of the Healer
To come and heal our minds and souls
We need the Hands of the Healer
To fill us up and make us whole
We need the Hands of the Healer
To come and heal our minds and souls
We need the Hands of the Healer
To fill us up and make us whole

[Bridge]
Heal us of pain and affliction
Free us from burdens and our sins
Renew our hearts and our nation
Cleanse us inside, Lord, deep within
Heal us of pain and affliction
Free us from burdens and our sins
Renew our hearts and our nation
Cleanse us inside, Lord, deep within

[Outro]
Oh, Lord, our Rock and Redeemer
Help us surrender our whole lives
And be our Savior and Healer
Lord, be our refuge through the night
Oh, Lord, our Rock and Redeemer
Help us surrender our whole lives
And be our Savior and Healer
Lord, be our refuge through the night
