Psalm 101 Music BMI
Mother don’t blame pilot
He was trying to spare my life
He was hoping this whipping post
Would keep me from haying to die
He thought he had the power
To set me free
You and I both know that can’t be
Chorus
I’ll turn this beating into their healing
They meant to cause me pain (shame) (agony)
But that’s not all I’m feeling
With each blow they didn’t know
What every stripe was revealing
As I bear this pain
Now they can claim
Their healing.
Healing for the little child
Clinging to her life
Healing for the broken soul
Racked with pain and strife
They have never seen these scars
But they believe
Don’t you know that’s the power
In these stripes I receive
Chorus
Bridge
Oh I know this hurts you so
To see the blood the pain
The agony and shame
It’s not even over yet
But lest you forget
