Healed

With all of the wonderful sweet messages, emails, comments, and especially prayers coming our way for sweet Emma Kate, I thought I would share some lyrics to a song that has touched me recently. My mom recieved an email that reminded her that we should certainly be praying for healing for this little girl.

"By his stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:5

I believe with all my heart that the Lord will heal Emma Kate. Whether in or out of the womb is unseen by us. It is my job, as her mother to pray and to trust that God is going to take care of her and He will heal her. The lyrics are to a song called Healed by Nichole Nordeman.

We stutter and we stammer til You say us

A symphony of chaos til You play us

Phrases on the pages of unknown, til you read us into poetry and prose

We are kept and we are captive til You free us

Vaguely unimagined til You dream us

Aimlessly unguided til You lead us home.

And by Your voice we speak

By Your strength no longer weak, we are no longer weak

By Your wounds we are healed

By Your wounds we are healed

Passed over and passed by until You claim us

Orphaned and abandoned til You name us

Hidden and disclosed til You expose our hearts

And by Your death we live

It is by Your gift that we might give, that we might give

What kind of love would take Your shame and spill his blood for You?

And save us by His wounds...
