Restored: once sick and wounded


For I will restore health to you,
and your wounds I will heal,
declares the LORD,
Jeremiah 30:17a

I was sick.
I was helplessly afflicted by my sin.
I had no way to enter in
to the presence of a holy God.
But Jesus made the cure.
He brought me in.
My soul now secure
and my disease now purged
I am pure by the power of His blood!

I was wounded.
I was hopelessly bound in my grief.
I held to hope, sought relief
in the power of my God.
Jesus brought me joy!
He carried my sorrows.
My soul consoled
and my losses all swallowed up in
a gracious new life
by the power of His resurrection!
