10 Worship Songs For Healing
1. Miracles – Jesus Culture
The One who made the blind to see
Is moving here in front of me, moving here in front of me
The One who made the deaf to hear
Is silencing my every fear, silencing my every fear
No list of worship songs for healing would be complete without this one. These lyrics relate to the idea of healing as they refer to God’s power to perform miracles and restore physical abilities. The line “The One who made the blind to see” references the story in the Bible where Jesus healed a man born blind in John 9:32. Similarly, the line “The One who made the deaf to hear” references the story in Mark 7:31-37 where Jesus healed a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment.
The lyrics also suggest that the person singing is currently experiencing some sort of difficulty and is looking to God for healing. They are expressing the belief that God can heal them, just as He has healed others in the past. The lyrics also speak to the idea of emotional healing, by saying “silencing my every fear” It means that the person is asking God to heal their emotional pain and provide them with peace and comfort.
These lyrics align with the Bible’s message of God’s healing power, referencing the miracles performed by Jesus Christ, such as the healing of the blind and deaf. They serve as a reminder of the Bible’s message of God’s healing power and can be used as a tool to connect to the healing message of the Bible.
2. God You’re So Good – Passion
I am blessed
I am called I am healed
I am whole
I am saved in Jesus’ name
These lyrics convey a message of healing and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. The use of words such as “blessed”, “called”, “healed” and “whole” express a sense of completeness and well-being, which is associated with physical and spiritual healing. The line “I am saved in Jesus’ name” is a powerful statement of faith in Jesus’ power to save and heal, as well as an expression of gratitude for the gift of salvation.
These lyrics relate to healing in the Bible by expressing the belief in the power of Jesus’ name to bring about healing. The lyrics state that the singer is blessed, called, healed, and whole, and attributes this to being saved in Jesus’ name. This is consistent with our belief that through faith in Jesus, we can be healed both physically and spiritually. This is also similar to the belief in the power of the name of Jesus to heal and bring salvation, as seen in various verses in the New Testament such as Acts 3:16 and James 5:14-15.
“By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.” -Acts 3:16
3. He Is Faithful – Bryan & Katie Torwalt
I have seen a light, like the break of dawn
Giving blind men sight, and letting lame men walk
I see a generation, with resurrection life
We are a generation
This is my personal favorite worship song for healing on the list. The lyrics “I have seen a light” speak to the powerful healing that can come from faith in God. The image of the break of dawn represents a new beginning, a time of renewal and hope. This can be seen in the way that the light is described as giving “blind men sight” and “letting lame men walk.” These references to physical healing are symbolic of the spiritual healing that can come through faith in God. In the Bible, there are many stories of individuals who were healed through their faith, this lyrics remind us of the healing power of God’s love.
The lyrics “I have seen a light” also relates to the Bible’s teachings on resurrection life. The mention of “a generation with resurrection life” highlights the idea that through faith in God, individuals can be reborn and given new life. In the Bible, Jesus is often referred to as the “resurrection and the life” and it is through belief in him that individuals can have eternal life. The power of Christ is also mentioned in the lyrics, which can be seen as a reference to the power of God’s love and grace to heal and renew.
Lastly, the bridge of the lyrics “He has paid the highest price, He has proven his great love for us” alludes to the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross. This sacrifice is the ultimate expression of God’s love for humanity and the ultimate act of healing. The Bible teaches that through Jesus’ sacrifice, believers are able to receive forgiveness of sins and be reconciled with God. The lyrics’ call to “praise him with our lives and proclaim our love for him” is a reminder that through accepting God’s healing and love, individuals are called to live a life of gratitude and devotion to God.
4. Canvas and Clay – Pat Barrett, Ben Smith
There’s a healing light
Just beyond the clouds
Though I’ve walked through fire I see clearly now
These lyrics suggest you’ve experienced a difficult or painful situation (who hasn’t?), but have found hope and healing through the light of heaven. The phrase “walked through fire” implies a struggle or a trial that you have overcome, and the line “I see clearly now” suggests that have gained a new perspective or understanding as a result of this healing process. Overall, these lyrics convey the idea that healing can be found even in the darkest of times and through the struggles we face. We can always find the light that will guide us through the darkness.
This is reflected in the Bible, where God’s healing and restoration is a recurring theme, for example in Isaiah 43:2
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.”
The phrase “healing light” is a metaphor for God’s healing power, which is often mentioned in the Bible. For example, in Isaiah 60:1, it says “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.” This verse speaks about the light of God coming and bringing healing and salvation.
5. Too Good To Not Believe – Bethel, Brandon Lake
I’ve seen cancer disappear
I’ve seen metal plates dissolve
Don’t you tell me He can’t do it
Don’t you tell me He can’t do it
These lyrics express the belief in Jesus’ power to perform miracles, including healing. They reference specific examples, such as cancer disappearing and metal plates dissolving, to show Jesus’ power to overcome even dire circumstances. The lyrics also convey the beauty and wonder of these miracles and their significance as a sign of Jesus’ divine nature and mission. They also encourage others to believe in Jesus’ power and miracles.
The Bible records many miracles performed by Jesus, including healing the blind and raising the dead, not only for physical healing but also for salvation. The lyrics express that Jesus is the wonder working God who loves us and is too good to not believe.
The Bible states that everything is possible for those who believe, as stated in Mark 9:23. The lyrics remind us that belief in Jesus’ power and love brings hope, healing and salvation.
6. Nothing is Impossible – PlanetShakers
Through you blind eyes are opened,
Strongholds are broken
I am living by faith
Nothing is impossible
This is the most upbeat praise and worship song for healing on the list. The lyrics “Through You I can do anything, I can do all things / Cause its you who gives me strength” imparts the belief in the power and strength of Jesus to perform miracles, including healing. In the Bible, Jesus is often referred to as the source of strength for those who believe in Him, as in Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” This line in the lyrics conveys the message that with Jesus, nothing is unattainable.
The lyrics “Through you blind eyes are opened, / Strongholds are broken” communicates the belief that Jesus has the power to break strongholds and open blind eyes, both physical and spiritual. In the Bible, Jesus is often referred to as the one who breaks the chains of sin and oppression, as in Isaiah 61:1
“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.”
This line in the lyrics emphasizes the power of Jesus to heal and restore not just physically but also spiritually.
The lyrics “I’m not gonna live by what I see, I’m not gonna live by what I feel / Deep down I, Know that You’re here with me / I know that, You can do anything” indicate the importance of living by faith, not by what we see or feel. In the Bible, faith is often described as the key to receiving healing and salvation, as in Hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” This line in the lyrics conveys the message that even when things may not seem possible, faith in Jesus can make anything happen and reminds us that God is always with us.
7. Waymaker – Leeland
You are here touching every heart
I worship You, I worship You
You are here healing every heart
I worship You, I worship You
This song has become an instant classic worship song for healing over the last couple of years.

10. This Is A Move – Brandon Lake
Miracles happen when you move
Healing is coming in this room
Miracles happen when you move
Heaven is coming
The lyrics “Bodies are still being raised / Giants are still being slayed” suggest the continuation of God’s miraculous power as mentioned in Bible passages such as John 11:43-44, where Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead and 1 Corinthians 15:26, where it states that death is the last enemy to be destroyed.
The expression of strong faith in God’s ability to perform miracles and wonders is evident in the lyrics “God we believe it / Yes we can see that / Wonders are still what you do”, which aligns with Bible passages such as Jeremiah 32:27 and Hebrews 11:6.
