Jesus, Friend of a Wounded Heart

Smile, make 'em think you're happy

Lie and say that things are fine

And hide that empty longing that you feel

Don't ever show it, 

just keep your heart concealed

Why are the days so lonely?

I wonder where, where can a heart go free

And who will dry the tears that no one's seen?

There must be someone to share your silent dreams

Caught like a leaf in the wind

Lookin' for a friend, where can you turn?

Whisper the words of a prayer 

and you'll find Him there

Arms open wide, love in His eyes

Jesus, He meets you where you are

Jesus, He heals your secret scars

All the love you're longing for

Is Jesus, the friend of a wounded heart

Joy comes like the morning

And hope deepens as you grow

And peace, beyond the reaches of your soul

Comes blowing through you, 

for love has made you whole

Once like a leaf in the wind

Looking for a friend, where could you turn?

You spoke the words of a prayer 

and you found Him there

Arms open wide, love in His eyes

Jesus, He meets you where you are

Jesus, He heals your secret scars

All the love you're longing for

Is Jesus, the friend of a wounded heart

He meets you where you are

Jesus, He heals your secret scars

All the love you're longing for, 

all the love that you need

Is Jesus, the friend of a wounded heart

Romans 8:31-39

..."What then shall we say to these things? 

If God is for us, who is against us?

He who did not spare His own Son, 

but delivered Him over for us all, 

how will He not also with Him 

freely give us all things?

Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? 

God is the one who justifies; 

who is the one who condemns? 

Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, 

rather who was raised, 

who is at the right hand of God, 

who also intercedes for us.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? 

Will tribulation, 

or distress, 

or persecution, 

or famine, 

or nakedness, 

or peril, 

or sword?

Just as it is written,

“For Your sake we are being put to death 

all day long;
We were considered as sheep 

to be slaughtered.”

But in all these things 

we overwhelmingly conquer 

through Him who loved us.

For I am convinced that neither death, 

nor life, 

nor angels, 

nor principalities, 

nor things present, 

nor things to come, 

nor powers,

nor height, 

nor depth, 

nor any other created thing, 

will be able to separate us 

from the love of God, 

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Glory to God!
