Merciful Mender Of Hearts

In words never spoken she’s tried and condemned
Her spirit so broken–her pain without end
Beaten and boxed by the presence of shame
She can’t help but wonder if God knows her name

The wounds in her heart and the marks on her skin
Are a steady reminder she’s a prisoner within
Desperate she calls to the One with the key
While the voices inside say she’ll never be free

O Merciful Mender of hearts
You who hear the prayers we never start
You are the God who sees
The price of our disease

It’s so hard to trust someone she’s never known
It’s hard to believe beyond flesh and bone
But His touch brings healing–a feeling of peace
Now found by His love she falls to her knees

O Merciful Mender of hearts
You who know the scarred and wounded parts
Pour out Your grace on me
You’re the Truth that sets us free

You alone hear the silent cries
Of each one captured by the father of lies
Your blood can heal our deepest sin
You are the Light in the darkness within

O Merciful Mender of hearts
You who hear the prayers we never start
You are the God who sees
The price of our disease

O Merciful Mender of hearts
You who know the scarred and wounded parts
Pour out Your grace on me
You’re the Truth that sets us free
