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 the 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
Jesus come and break my fear
Awake my heart and take my tears
Find Your glory even here
“The Hurt & The Healer” MercyMe
On June 8th at just 13 weeks pregnant our sweet baby went home to be with Jesus. Music helps heal the heart and these songs have been close to me since. I’m so thankful that one day when I cross those gates my sweet baby will meet me there. Until then, Coty and I will carry this sweet little on in our hearts always. Keep us in your prayers as we take this road of grieving and healing. Thankful for every moment I had with that sweet baby. Thankful we were able to see the baby and hear the heartbeat so many times. Thankful for our amazing parents that planted this tree so we could have a place to remember our time with this child. For the beautiful box my step-grandpa built for our sweet little one. For the soft blanket that was made with love from my sweet Gramma Pat. Coty, Molly & I are so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing family and friends during this time.
There were photographs i wanted to take
Things i wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?people say that i am brave but i`m not
Truth is i`m barely hanging on
But there`s a greater story
Written long before me
Because he loves you like this
So i will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And i will praise the one who`s chosen me
To carry you
Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But i know
That the silence
Has brought me to his voice
And he says
I`ve shown her photographs of time beginning
Walked her through the parted seas
Angel lullabies no more teary eyes
Who could love her like this?
I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All your life
And i will praise the one who`s chosen me
To carry you
praying for you.
This is raw and broken and beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss and your pain. You have been on my mind and in my prayers many times since I read this yesterday… I pray for the “peace that passes all understanding to guard your hearts and minds” – through the winding paths and the highs and lows. Amidst the pain, may you feel God wrap His strong and gentle arms around your sweet family and know you that He hasn’t forgotten you and will never let go. Praying…
I was stopped in my tracks this morning as I flipped through my blog reader and saw this post. I’ve been following your blog for some time now (your work is beautiful). I just wanted to say that I’m so very sorry your sweet baby can’t be here with you. I am not much for prayers, but I hope you can feel the love and peace being sent your way from this stranger (who understands too well). {{{hugs}}}
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
