<p>There's pain that we carry too close to our hearts<br />So deep they are scary, they keep us apart<br />But time cannot heal the wounds of our soul<br />Offense not forgiven is hard to control</p> <p>Sometimes we keep feeding the negative voices<br />The sounds of our choices the echoes of pain<br />The sting of a word comes a-ripping and cutting<br />It blinds us, it finds us, it hurts us again</p> <p>They blame and they mark us, they shame and they stark us<br />Like flowers the heat has destroyed long ago<br />Like waters polluted from fountains unsafe<br />Like roots turning bitter like hope when delayed</p> <p>But all of our suffering Messiah took over<br />And all our distresses Messiah put on<br />Was hurt and afflicted unlike any other<br />Stripped down and despised a king without throne</p> <p>That's why his is familiar with all of our sorrow<br />With scars caused by fire, with cuts made by swords<br />He knows our emotions, He saw our tomorrow<br />He found and pursued us this Jesus our Lord</p> <p>He offered Himself to forgive and restore us<br />A love so refreshing and peace without end<br />His life for our lives our Messiah laid for us<br />Once and for all it is finished. Amen</p> <p>But all of our suffering Messiah took over<br />And all our distresses Messiah put on<br />Was hurt and afflicted unlike any other<br />Stripped down and despised a king without throne</p> <p>That's why his is familiar with all of our sorrow<br />With scars caused by fire, with cuts made by swords<br />He knows our emotions, He saw our tomorrow<br />He found and pursued us this Jesus our Lord</p> <p>He offered Himself to forgive and restore us<br />A love so refreshing a peace without end<br />His life for our lives our Messiah laid for us<br />Once and for all it is finished. Amen</p> <p>He offered Himself to forgive and restore us<br />A love so refreshing a peace without end<br />His life for our lives our Messiah laid for us<br />Once and for all it is finished. Amen</p> <p> </p>
