Jesus, Please Heal My Hurts

Jesus, Please Heal My Hurts!

This one thing,
 I’m most certain,
Lately I’ve been really hurtin’.

I want to do what’s right…
But it turns out “wrong”
I don’t really know where I belong.

There’s many in church,
 who pass me by.
I sometimes get an
 occasional “Hi!”

Is my message is
 getting across?
I feel so confused and 
completely lost.

A message of “help” is my
 desperate plea,
For someone to reach out to me.

I need someone,
 Who won’t let go!
I need God’s love
 and compassion in my soul.

I know that Jesus
 is someone I can lean on.
He is someone that
 I can always depend on!

Lord, I give you my hurts!
Faults and all!
You’re there to pick me up…
When I stumble and fall!

You’ve given to me
mercy and salvation!
Through you, I’ve hope,
peace and restoration!
