Wounded Healer

Hi friends! I'd like to share a song I've written called Wounded Healer. Jesus is the ultimate wounded healer. He was wounded to bring healing to our broken hearts, and he has this beautiful way of transforming our wounds and painful stories into healing for others. 
“Nobody escapes being wounded. We are all wounded people, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. The main question is not, 'How can we hide our wounds?' so we don't have to be embarrassed, but 'How can we put our woundedness in the service of others?' When our wounds cease to be a source of shame, and become a source of healing, we have become wounded healers." -Henri Nouwen


"He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." (Isaiah 53:3-5 about the coming Messiah, Jesus)

Wounded Healer
by Amber Hunter

I’m a tortured soul, and I don’t rest easy
I’m an aching soul, and I can’t find relief

I’m a beating heart, and I get this feeling
I’m a bleeding heart, and I hurt for healing

come Wounded Healer, calm and quiet me

Bridge
I am a desert dry, you have turned out the light
this is the season of my soul
will you remind me stars are brighter in the night      
​and I’ll be purified like gold

Tag
hold me like a child to your chest, let me rest
