Story behind the song
I've been through a lot in my life. My father died in my 16th birthday, I had cancer, three heart attacks, a terrible accident, amd my mother passed away a few years ago. I have needed the healing touch of someone who understands. I have entered into the fellowship of His suffering.
Lyrics
Wounded Healer Dan Adkins/Jeff Pearson Centergy Music/BMI Verse 1 The crowd along the roadside Thought He didn’t have a prayer For the cross upon His shoulders Was more than He could bear On the lonely road to Calvary Jesus fell down to His knees Broken, beaten, bleeding Thinking only of you and me Chorus Jesus knows the pain and sorrow I’m walking in today He walked this path before me And knows the thorns along the way He wears the marks of suffering His holy scars are plain to see Jesus is the wounded healer Who gently heals the wounds in me Verse 2 Takes a wounded heart to know one I finally understand For in my darkest hour I was cradled by nail-scarred hands God’s only Son brought healing Like only He could do He’s less concerned with what I’ve done Than what I’m going through Chorus Jesus knows the pain and sorrow I’m walking in today He walked this path before me And knows the thorns along the way He wears the marks of suffering His holy scars are plain to see Jesus is the wounded healer Who gently heals the wounds in me Jesus is the wounded healer Who gently heals the wounds in me
