You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease
I trust in you
I trust in you
I believe
You're my healer
I believe
You are all i need
I believe
You're my portion
I believe
You're more than enough for me
Jesus, you're all i need
Nothing is impossible for you
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is impossible for you
You hold my world in your hands

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on March 3, 2009, Hillsong's "Healer" stands as a profound declaration of faith, a musical testament to the boundless power and unwavering presence of God in the lives of believers. The song's genesis lies in Mike Guglielmucci's songwriting, a powerful expression of personal trust and theological conviction. Its central message revolves around the multifaceted nature of God's healing power, extending beyond physical restoration to encompass emotional, spiritual, and situational deliverance. The lyrics paint vivid imagery of divine intervention, depicting God as the one who meticulously manages every moment ("You hold my every moment"), a soothing balm to inner turmoil ("You calm my raging seas"), a constant companion through life's most intense trials ("You walk with me through fire"), and the ultimate source of restoration for all afflictions, whether seen or unseen ("And heal all my disease"). This profound trust is articulated through the repeated, resolute affirmation, "I trust in you," forming the bedrock of the song's devotional appeal.
The core of "Healer" is its unwavering belief in Jesus Christ as the ultimate restorer. The repeated refrain, "I believe / You're my healer," is not merely a statement of opinion but a deeply held conviction rooted in biblical truth. This belief extends to an all-encompassing dependence, recognizing that Jesus is "all I need" and "more than enough for me," echoing the Apostle Paul's declaration in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," and his affirmation in Romans 8:32, "He who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?" The song further solidifies this dependence by proclaiming Jesus as one's "portion," a term that resonates with the Old Testament concept of God's people inheriting Him as their rightful share and inheritance (Numbers 18:20, Psalm 16:5). The audacious yet biblically grounded claim, "Nothing is impossible for you," directly mirrors the angel's reassurance to Mary in Luke 1:37, "For with God nothing will be impossible," and Jesus' own words to his disciples in Matthew 19:26, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." This lyrical theme is powerfully reinforced by the concluding statement, "You hold my world in your hands," a beautiful reminder of God's sovereign care and control over all creation, as expressed in Isaiah 40:12, "Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or marked off the heavens with a span...?" "Healer" is therefore not just a song of comfort, but a robust anthem of theological truth, inviting listeners to embrace a faith that acknowledges God's pervasive, redemptive power in every aspect of their lives.
