Lyrics
O, the healing of Jesus
How it soothes life's hurt and pain
How it mends the heart that's broken
Makes the sunshine through the rain
Healing love x2
Heavenly bound beyond compare
Deep within my heart I feel it
When I go to him in prayer
O, the healing of Jesus
How it comforts when I fall
Leads to cleansing and forgiveness
As I bow confessing wrong
Healing love x2
Heavenly bound beyond compare
Deep within my heart I feel it,
When I go to him in prayer x 2
(Ooh)Healing love

Meaning & Inspiration
Healing Love presents Jesus as the source of comfort for wounded hearts, combining images of rain, sunshine, prayer, confession, and forgiveness. The repeated phrase gives the song a gentle center: divine love is described not as an abstract idea but as help experienced amid pain and failure. Its movement from hurt toward consolation keeps the focus on mercy rather than on human strength.
The lyrics closely echo biblical descriptions of God healing the brokenhearted and forgiving confessed sin. Prayer becomes the setting in which that healing is recognized, while cleansing follows an honest acknowledgment of wrong. The promise of being heaven-bound also places present comfort within a lasting Christian hope. Without minimizing suffering, the song portrays the love of Jesus as able to mend, soothe, and bring light through difficulty. Its simple repetition reinforces trust in grace that remains available when the heart turns toward Christ.
