Written by Dennis Jernigan for Glory and Shaun!

Song History:

Psalm 16:9; Hebrews 4:9

September 5, 2007

What do you do when someone you love is hurting? What do you do when there’s nothing you can do…except pray? One of my children called and was in the deepest anguish I had ever felt one of my children suffer. I prayed with my child and fell apart after our phone call…right into the arms of Jesus. And that is how I prayed – that they would fall apart in the arms of Jesus. Later that same day, I had been with a friend and his wife who were experiencing some deep, wrenching turmoil that was directly affecting their marriage.  Seeing my friends in pain, I did the same thing I had done for my child: I prayed for them and then fell apart in the arms of Jesus. This song came as I sang over these situations…and am glad to say that the Lord powerfully intervened in both situations! Use this song to bring healing to those you know who are in emotional pain.
