No mountain, no valley, no gain or loss we know
could keep us from Your love
No sickness, no secret, no chain is strong enough
to keep us from Your love
to keep us from Your love
How high, how wide
No matter where I am, healing is in Your hands
How deep, How strong,
And now by Your grace I stand, healing is in Your hands
"O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; for You have worked wonders, plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness...”
I sit here this morning contemplating those things. I just read an update from my friend Stacey. She has been in and out of the hospital this week, trying to figure out the source of the deep and constant pain in her lower back and leg. Yesterday, after hours of testing and waiting, they heard the results that they suspected. The cancer has invaded her bones and she has a tumor pressing on her sciatic nerve. In the midst of it all Stacey keeps fighting. Her light shines brightly as she reflects the love and faithfulness of our God.
Waves of grief and anger wash over me. I wish I could do this for her. I wish I could take away her pain. And then God reminds me that HE is doing it for her. He planned Stacey's life long ago, with perfect faithfulness. He is with her. He feels her pain. He hears her cries. He holds her tears in His hands. He is faithful. He is good. Even when I don't understand. Even when I can't see it.
The song lyrics come back to my head:
Our present, our future, our past is in Your hands
We're covered by Your blood
We're covered by Your blood
How high, How wide
no matter where I am, healing is in Your hands
How deep, How strong
And now by Your grace I stand, healing is in Your hands
The song lyrics come back to my head:
Our present, our future, our past is in Your hands
We're covered by Your blood
We're covered by Your blood
How high, How wide
no matter where I am, healing is in Your hands
How deep, How strong
And now by Your grace I stand, healing is in Your hands
