Mercyme - The Hurt & The Healer

The Healer and Me

Why?
The question that is never far away
The healing doesn’t come from the explained
Jesus please don’t let this go in vain
You’re all I have
All that remains

So here I am
What’s left of me
Where glory meets my suffering

I’m alive
Even though a part of me has died
You take my heart and breathe it back to life
I’ve fallen into Your arms open wide
When the hurt and the healer collide

Breathe
Sometimes I feel it’s all that I can do
Pain so deep that I can hardly move
Just keep my eyes completely fixed on You
Lord take hold and pull me through

So here I am
What’s left of me
Where glory meets my suffering

I’m alive
Even though a part of me has died
You take my heart and breathe it back to life
I’ve fallen into your arms open wide
When the hurt and the healer collide

It’s the moment when humanity
Is overcome by majesty
When grace is ushered in for good
And all the scars are understood
When mercy takes its rightful place
And all these questions fade away
When out of the weakness we must bow
And hear You say “It’s over now”

I’m alive
Even though a part of me has died
You take my heart and breathe it back to life
I’ve fallen into your arms open wide
When The hurt and the healer collide

Jesus come and break my fear
Awake my heart and take my tears
Find Your glory even here
When the hurt and the healer collide [x2]

Jesus come and break my fear
Awake my heart and take my tears
Find Your glory even here

I'm everything I am Because you loved me

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful, baby

You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through
Through it all

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach

You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love, I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me

Maybe, I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because
I was loved by you

You were always there for me, the tender wind that carried me
The light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

One of my Favorites......

One of many wonderful treasures I have from Mark. He always left me notes and drawings. I saved a majority of them. Thinking one day when we grew old, I'd bring them out and we would go through them. I thought they would bring back memories and make us smile. Now I'm alone with these memories and would like to share them with you. I will post one or two every now and then =)  I hope you will enjoy then almost as much as I do!............... Enjoy =)

Eight months have passed and I'm still not strong enough to be everything that I'm supposed to be

You mustYou must think I'm strongTo give me what I'm going through
Well, forgive meForgive me if I'm wrongBut this looks like more than I can doOn my own
Well, maybeMaybe that's the pointTo reach the point of giving up
Cause when I'm finallyFinally at rock bottomWell, that's when I start looking upAnd reaching out
Lord right now I'm asking you to beStrong enoughFor the both of us
Cause I'm brokenDown to nothingBut I'm still holding on to the one thingYou are Godand you are strongWhen I am weakI can do all thingsThrough Christ who gives me strength
I know that  I'm not strong enough to beEverything that I'm supposed to beI give up
Hands of mercy won't you cover meLord right now I'm asking you to beStrong enoughFor the both of us.Amen

I have forgotten my own self worth.

She can deal with stress and carry heavy burdens. She smiles when she feels like screaming, and she sings when she feels like crying. She cries when she's happy and laughs when she's afraid. Her love is unconditional. There's only one thing wrong with her. She forgets what she's worth!........ This sounds like me!.............. 

Never take someone for granted!

A Valentine to the love of my life!

With Love to my Husband. A beautiful blessing in my life

I look at the life we've created-

our home, our marriage,

the dreams we've seen come true-

and I realize how lucky we were 

that God

had brought us together.

For, through it all, we  shared the same hopes, the same goals, the same ideas

about how to live......

   And, through it all, 

I came to appreciate you

even more, 

for you were a truly

remarkable man,

and I'm still

very much in love with you.

Happy Valentines Day!

I Love You Honeybear,

Labour of Love.......Honeybear tree and keeping up the yard.

Mark always kept the yard looking good. You could look, but  NEVER find a weed. So out of love and respect.......for Mark, I felt that I should keep the yard looking good. I call it my labour of love. When I am working in the yard, I feel so close and connected to Mark. I find myself talking to him.......out loud =)


The past three weekends I have worked at trimming the trees, digging up weeds, digging holes to plant my 'Honeybear" tree, and raking the leaves, in both the front and back yard. Right now I can say the only thing left to do is get more mulch to put around a few more trees in the front yard!


No matter how hard I work in the yard, I will never have it looking as good as Mark did! You know Mark use to say I was the strongest woman he has ever known.........I now know what he meant!

Meet my Honeybear tree. I had a good cry when I was transplanting this tree from the pot to the ground. Who knew that I would be planting a tree for Mark. He was the one who planted all the other Christmas trees and named them after the grandkids!

I love and miss you

Gone, but certainly NOT forgotten!

This is an area that Mark created himself. All I've done is rake and water. This area is a place for me to sit and feel close to Mark I think of him & I even talk to him. I need to have a special sign made "In loving  memory of Mark R Hamlin, who is loved, thought about and missed like crazy"

This photo shows Ruby, Taylor & Sammy tree! You can also see Honeybear's tree.....next to Sammy tree. The tallest one in the back. All the tree started out the size of Honeybear's tree.

The next photos are of our back yard.
