Track 7: “Healing Hands”

“Healing Hands” is a deeply emotive song that explores the power of healing within relationships and families. The lyrics delve into the pain of brokenness—unseen wounds, strained connections, and the longing for restoration. The song acknowledges the realities of hurt but also holds a profound hope for reconciliation and healing through divine intervention.

Invoking Jehovah Rapha (The Lord Who Heals) and El Shalom (God of Peace), the song emphasizes the belief that God can use individuals as instruments of healing. The chorus is a heartfelt petition for God to work through the listener’s hands, making them tools in His plan to mend and restore.

The narrative progresses from recognizing the walls built between loved ones to witnessing those walls crumble as love and forgiveness take root. The song highlights the transformative power of the Ruach (Spirit) flowing like grand rivers, bringing renewal to relationships once thought beyond repair.

“Healing Hands” speaks to men in their roles as husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers, encouraging them to take active steps toward healing within their families. It underscores the impact of a father’s touch and a husband’s embrace in bringing about emotional and spiritual restoration.

Musically, the song features soothing melodies and gentle harmonies, creating an atmosphere conducive to reflection and vulnerability. The emotive composition invites listeners to open their hearts to the possibility of healing and to consider their role in facilitating it.

This track is a poignant reminder that while brokenness may be a part of our human experience, healing is possible through God’s power and our willingness to be vessels of His love. “Healing Hands” inspires listeners to embrace forgiveness, extend compassion, and actively participate in the restoration of their families and communities.

Reflection: 

Healing is a profound aspect of God’s character and mission. James 5:16 emphasizes the power of prayer and confession in bringing about healing, both physically and spiritually. As men, we are called to be agents of healing within our families and communities.

Isaiah 61:1, a prophecy fulfilled by Yeshua, highlights the anointing to bring good news and bind up the brokenhearted. We, too, share in this mission through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 reminds us that the comfort we receive from God equips us to comfort others. Our experiences, including our pains and healings, position us to minister to others effectively.

 In our roles as fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons, we encounter brokenness and hurt. Whether it’s emotional wounds, strained relationships, or physical ailments, we have the opportunity to extend healing through our actions, words, and prayers.

Lyrics

Healing Hands

Verse 1:

Wounds unseen, hearts that bleed,
In my home, there’s a need.
Broken words and promises,
Left us all with emptiness.
But I believe in healing rain,
You can wash away the pain.

Chorus:

Jehovah Rapha, heal through me,
Use these hands to set them free.
Ruach, flow like rivers grand,
Make me tools in Your great plan.

Verse 2:

Walls we’ve built begin to fall,
As Your love restores us all.
Touch my wife and touch my child,
Bring us back, reconciled.
Let forgiveness be our song,
In Your love, we all belong.

Chorus:

Jehovah Rapha, heal through me,
Use these hands to set them free.
Ruach, flow like rivers grand,
Make me tools in Your great plan.

Bridge:

El Shalom, bring Your peace,
May our strife and anger cease.
Bind us with cords of unity,
In Your presence, let us be.

Chorus:

Jehovah Rapha, heal through me,
Use these hands to set them free.
Ruach, flow like rivers grand,
Make me tools in Your great plan.

Outro:

With healing hands, I now embrace,
Every heart within this place.
