If you are wounded

And if you're alone,

If you are angry,

If your heart is cold as stone,

If you have fallen,

And if you are weak,

Come find the Word of God

That only the suffering seek.

Come lift up your sorrows, 

And offer your pain. 

Come make a sacrifice of all your shame. 

There in your wilderness, 

He's waiting for you 

To worship Him with your wounds, 

For He's wounded too.

He has not stuttered

And He has not lied

When He said "Come unto Me,"

You're not disqualified;

When you're heavy laden,

You may want to depart

But those who know sorrow

They're closest to His heart.

Come lift up your sorrows, 

And offer your pain;

Come make a sacrifice of all your shame. 

There in your wilderness, 

He's waiting for you 

To worship Him with your wounds, 

For He's wounded too.

In this most holy place, 

He's made a sacred space

For those who will enter in

And trust to cry out to Him,

You'll find no curtain there,

No reason left for fear;

There's perfect freedom here

To weep every unwept tear.

Come lift up your sorrows, (Lift up your sorrows)

And offer your pain. (Offer your pain)

Come make a sacrifice 

Of all your shame. 

There in your wilderness, (There in your wilderness)

He's waiting for you (He's waiting for you)

To worship Him with your wounds, 

For He's wounded too.

(Come, come) Come lift up your sorrows, 

(Come bring your pain, oh yeah)

And offer your pain. (Come make a sacrifice)

Come make a sacrifice (Of all your shame)

Of all your shame. 

There in your wilderness,

He's waiting for you (He's waiting for you)

To worship Him with your wounds, 

For He's wounded too. (He's wounded too yeah)

Worship Him with your wounds, (all your wounds)

For He's wounded too.

Come worship Him with your wounds, 

For He's wounded too.
