Healing is in Your Hands

No mountain, no valley, no gain or loss we know
could keep us from Your love
No sickness, no secret, no chain is strong enough
to keep us from Your love
to keep us from Your love

How high, how wide
No matter where I am, healing is in Your hands
How deep, How strong,
And now by Your grace I stand, healing is in Your hands

Our present, our future, our past is in Your hands
We're covered by Your blood
We're covered by Your blood

How high, how wide
No matter where I am, healing is in Your hands
How deep, How strong,
And now by Your grace I stand, healing is in Your hands

In all things we know that
we are more than conquerors
You keep us by Your love

In all things we know that
we are more than conquerors
You keep us by Your love

How high, how wide, Oh Lord!
No matter where I am, healing is in Your hands
How deep, how deep is Your love,
How strong, how strong is Your love,
And now by Your grace I stand, healing is in Your hands

Last May I sang this song at the Bowery Mission in New York City, in front of 100 people I'd never met before but shared something incredible with, God.

It was this song that bonded me with one of my good friends and it was this song that truly touched my heart before, during, and after that moment I sang it. I cannot listen to this song now without thinking of Bowery and all the wonderful times spent there.

However with the happy comes the sad. I miss that wonderful place oh so much, and the people even more. It's a second home, a safe haven, and a beautiful shelter. And I've learned more about myself and many other people just by visiting this place only twice.
