Heartaches and How to Heal!

 Dennis Edwards

The microphone and my singing didn't seem to go so well. Sorry. Push ahead if you must and listen to the talk (at 3:33) where I share my own experience with "heartaches." Here are the words to the song "Heartaches" by A.H. Ackley (1887-1960).

(1) When your heart is aching, turn to Jesus,

He's the dearest Friend that you can know;

You will find Him standing close beside you,

Waiting peace and comfort to bestow.

Heartaches, take them all to Jesus,

Go to Him today,

Do it now without delay.

Heartaches, take them all to Jesus,

He will take your heartaches all away. 

(2) There is joy for every troubled sorrow,

Sweet relief for every bitter pain,

Jesus Christ is still the great Physician,

No one ever sought His help in vain.

Heartaches, take them all to Jesus,

Go to Him today, 

Do it now without delay.

Heartaches, take them all to Jesus,

He will take your heartaches all away. 

(3) Jesus understands, whate'er the trouble,

And He waits to heal your wounded soul.

Will you trust His love so strong and tender?

He alone can make your spirit whole.

Heartaches, take them all to Jesus,

Go to Him today,

Do it now without delay.

Heartaches, take them all to Jesus,

He will take your heartaches all away.

The verse I shared were thefollowing:

John 14:18 "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."

Psalm 147:3 "He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds."

2 Corinthians 1:4 "Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."

Psalm 30:5b "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning."

Nehemiah 8:10c "...for the joy of the Lord is your strength."

Philippians 3:13-14 "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those which are before, I press toward the mark (or goal) for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

Here I am singing with the guitar!
