Your sins have separated you from God- and He has tuned His ear

God has hidden His face from you- and He will never hear

'Til we mourn in humiliation and we grieve enough to turn

From the power that would seduce us- and submission learn.

Sometimes it hurts to be healed

Sometimes it hurts to be healed

Sometimes it's painful to have sin revealed

Sometimes it hurts to be healed

Clean the leaven from our house- its' transforming power defiles

Like a cancer, cut it from our lives and make us reconciled

The physician's cure may hurt us-but we claim it for great gain

So that we may overcome sickness and become strong again

Sometimes it hurts to be healed

Sometimes it hurts to be healed

Sometimes it's painful to have sin revealed

Sometimes it hurts to be healed

Sometimes it hurts to be healed

Sometimes it hurts to be healed

Sometimes it's painful to have sin revealed

Sometimes it hurts to be healed
