Healer of Hearts

I could see this David MacGregor song used in Lent, for anointing or even a second rite. While based on a psalm that is part lament and part prayer for protection, Jesus becomes the hope.

The sheet music is at his site.

I did this backing a while ago – I hope I followed the direction ‘with restraint.”

.. not really… sigh.

You’re the healer of hearts
when we’re opened wide
You’re the healer of hurts
when we’re pained inside
You’re the healer of body, mind and soul
Jesus, bring us your life
Come, make us whole

Hear my cry, O God, my prayer
From the heart
in deep despair
When I’m far from anywhere
Let me know that God,
you’re there

You’re the healer of hearts
when we’re opened wide
You’re the healer of hurts
when we’re pained inside
You’re the healer of body, mind and soul
Jesus, bring us your life
Come, make us whole

Keep me safe from
harm’s cruel way
You’re my refuge,
come what may
God in you: my life, my way
In your presence night and day

You’re the healer of hearts
when we’re opened wide
You’re the healer of hurts
when we’re pained inside
You’re the healer of body, mind and soul
Jesus, bring us your life
Come, make us whole

You’re the healer of body, mind and soul
Jesus, bring us your life
Come, make us whole

Then again these versions aren’t all that restrained either.
