Healer

Posted on June 24th, 2008 in Church Life, Music by Fred McKinnon

Hey Ya’ll,

As you may have read, I was “home alone” last week. Joy and the kids went up to Gainesville, GA and enjoyed some time with Joy’s parents and I stayed home and did a lot of “catching up” on a mile-long “to do” list.

While they were gone, I took advantage of the free nights and checked in on some other ministries that happen at SSCC during the week. Jay Sellers and Ben Harrell did an awesome job leading worship at the Young Adult’s group, Elevate. Jay led the song “Healer”, as recorded on the Planetshakers CD.

I fell in love with this powerful song, and have since listened to it dozens of times. Now I’ve learned (ht. thetoneguru) that this song will be included on the upcoming release from Hillsong, “This is Our God”.

The video promo for this recording is amazing … but the promo is really more about this song, “Healer”. There is a powerful interview with the songwriter, currently in the middle of an intense battle with cancer. He led the song, complete with an oxygen tank on the stage.

Checkout the video below. I think you’ll agree this is incredibly powerful.
