We are Healed

Mercy’s incantation
Death secured our sure salvation
Raised to new creation
Miracle of rcconciliation
In the mystery revealed
By his wounds we are healed.

The impossible we find
Here in our savior’s mind
The impossible we seek to do
All things are possible in You.
We become the righteousness of God in You.

In suffering and pain
We discover loss is gain
For even though we die we live
Yet not I but by the life Christ gives
Throughout history concealed
By his wounds we are healed

We lose if we seek life to retain
In losing life we discover loss is gain
Power is perfected
In the stone that was rejected
Weakness is the strength of stone
Laid down before the presence of the throne

The impossible we find
Here in our savior’s mind
The impossible we seek to do
All things are possible in You.
We become the righteousness of God in You.

In this fellowship of suffering
We bind ourselves as offerings
A pleasing sacrifice
For we are found in Christ
And our hemhorraging heart is sealed
By his wounds we are healed.
