About The Hurt & the Healer
"The Hurt & the Healer" is a song by Christian rock band MercyMe. Written by Bart Millard, Robby Shaffer, Jim Bryson, Mike Schuechzer, Nathan Cochran, and Barry Graul, it was released as the lead single from the band's upcoming album of the same title. The idea for the song came after the death of Millard's firefighter cousin, who died while fighting a fire, and the song's early completion resulted in the album being pushed back so that the band could make sure the rest of the album "held its own". "The Hurt & the Healer" was released to radio and as a digital download on February 28, 2012 and has peaked inside the top ten on several Christian chart formats and inside the top fifteen on the Billboard Christian CHR chart.more »

Why?The question that is never far awayThe healing doesn’t come from the explainedJesus please don’t let this go in vainYou’re all I haveAll that remainsSo here I amWhat’s left of meWhere glory meets my sufferingI’m aliveEven though a part of me has diedYou take my heart and breathe it back to lifeI’ll fall into Your arms open wideWhen the hurt and the healer collideBreatheSometimes I feel it’s all that I can doPain so deep that I can hardly moveJust keep my eyes completely fixed on YouLord take hold and pull me throughSo here I amWhat’s left of meWhere glory meets my sufferingI’m aliveEven though a part of me has diedYou take my heart and breathe it back to lifeI’ll fall into Your arms open wideWhen the hurt and the healer collideIt’s the moment when humanityIs overcome by majestyWhen grace is ushered in for goodAnd all our scars are understoodWhen mercy takes its rightful placeAnd all these questions fade awayWhen out of the weakness we must bowAnd hear You say it’s over nowI’m aliveEven though a part of me has diedYou take my heart and breathe it back to lifeI’ll fall into Your arms open wideWhen the hurt and the healer collideJesus come and break my fearAwake my heart and take my tearsFind Your glory even hereWhen the hurt and the healer collideJesus come and break my fearAwake my heart and take my tearsFind Your glory even hereWhen the hurt and the healer collideJesus come and break my fearAwake my heart and take my tearsFind Your glory even here
