Heal the wounds deeply
Heal the wounds deeply
by Joel Howard
With every breath
With every interaction
The people I meet
Those lost sheep
I long to be
A great healer
to the nations
Anointed words
As I wash feet
"Heal the wounds of the people deeply
Heal the wounds of the people deeply
Heal the wounds of my people deeply
Heal the wounds"
With every word
I want to be a listener
who goes deeper than
Mere listening
With every tear
I want to hold the jar
That welcomes them
Like streams and presents
Them to the King
"Heal the wounds of the people deeply
Heal the wounds of the people deeply
Heal the wounds of my people deeply
Heal the wounds"
Just like a star in heaven testifies
Of your greatness to all passers by
Just like the tiny blade of grass is faithful
Growing as much as he is able
Just like the sun is part of a grander story
Pointing us to the Father's glory
I want to heal the wounds of the people
I want to heal the wounds of the people
"Heal the wounds of the people deeply
Heal the wounds of the people deeply
Heal the wounds of my people deeply
Heal the wounds"
