Thank You For Healing Me Lyrics

The disease of my soul was spreading,
Eating me up on the inside,
Keeping my heart from your new life.
And I see now where I was headed
For there is no cure that can save us,
Outside of Your mercy Lord Jesus.

Yes, You stepped in with Your power to save,
Let forgiveness reign,
Worked a miracle within.

Thank you for healing me;
I was dying beneath my shame
But You brought me to life again, and I will sing:
Thank you for freeing me
I was dead to the truth of You,
But my healing was in Your wounds, and now I sing:
Thank you for healing me.

Though outwardly I may waste away,
On the inside I'll be more alive every day.
As I walk through times of pain and grief
There's a deeper truth inside of me...
You have placed Your life inside of me.

I'm alive, I'm alive.
I'm alive, I'm alive in You.
Thankyou for healing me.

Song Description:
Bible reference: Matthew 3:15, Mark 2:17, Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:2

'There are so many ways to talk about our salvation. Quite often we use the picture of being freed, and the use of legal language etc. But in this song I decided to use the picture of being healed, and the use of some medical language, for example talking of the mercy of Jesus being a 'cure that can save us'.

While writing this song I met a young worship leader in the USA named Ed Horn. I actually met him in a hospital where he was being treated for cancer, and that meeting really spoke to me. From his beaming smile and full on heart of praise, you wouldn't have known he was dying, hence the lyric saying though outwardly I may waste away, on the inside I'll be more alive every day. Ed is no longer with us. He is safe in the arms of Jesus now - that big beaming smile more radiant than ever no doubt.' - Matt Redman
