I’ve been running around, searching for answers;
I’ve been looking around for some kind of cure;
I’ve been searching around, but still haven’t found
Even one thing that’s helped, one thing that’s sure.
It’s so tempting at times to just throw the towel in;
Might be easier to just give up hope.
Does anybody care? Is anyone aware
That I am here, at the end of my rope?
Won’t you heal me, Lord? Why don’t you heal me, Lord?
You know the things that I’ve been through.
It’s been so long, Yet things are still so wrong:
My last remaining hope is you.
I’ve been trying so hard to keep believing,
But time after time, hope just seems to fail.
I’m trying to hold on, and trying to be strong;
But after all this time, I’m still not doing well.
Won’t you heal me, Lord? Why don’t you heal me, Lord?
You know the things that I’ve been through.
It’s been so long, Lord, heal me – make me strong:
My last remaining hope is you.
On the wings of your Spirit I fly –
I don’t know when I’ve ever soared so high!
You have shown me another world, in the warmth of your love;
So whether here on earth, or up in heaven above,
Your love has healed me, Lord!
Your love has healed me, Lord!
Even if nothing changes here –
I no longer fear:
Your love has healed me, Lord.
