These songs were written in the middle of sorrow - learning to hold onto hope.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

His healing is close - personal, attentive, and near.

Isaiah 61:1

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted... to comfort all who mourn.

Jesus doesn't avoid pain - He moves toward it.
