Jesus called us Friend. I think the friend Cory refers to is Jesus, who took and continues to take our wounds. We are prisoners of this Hope even when our heart is slain, because in the end we know we will have the victory - we win, because He won for us. So we embrace the waves, caves and dealings of His Hand. This song is all about Jesus - & our wrestling, yet hope, trust & the refined gold of our friendship with Him.

I was a little lost the meaning of this song the first times I heard it, so here is my insight to help - if I can: Faithful are the wounds of a friend is written in proverbs 27.6 - it means that a friend that hurts you out of love does it with a purpose He also says in the song "faithful Lord are the dealings ( doings/choices) of your hands" This song says that even though we feel lost, in trials, lost and hurting, we can, if we stop looking at our own pain and look at our Father, remember that everything He does has a purpose and He only wants us to grow So that's what I understood

While I listened I was reminded that when Jesus was crucified it was through no sin of His own but for the salvation of many, and so sometimes our suffering isn't because of what we have done or failed to do - It is for the sake of others.

When he said: “boy you better keep running, at a pace I can’t sustain” has anyone been feeling like they’ve been running at a pace that’s unbearable? 2020 has been a race that no one was prepared for... but with love of Christ we can keep running and not be weary, spread the love along the way.

This song makes me think so much on the proverbs passage: "Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful." (Proverbs <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1626">27:6</a>, NKJV) - Now put that into the context of Judas who kissed, but was an enem and Jesus who let's himself be wounded and calls Judas "Friend".

You know how when your Bestfriend tells you that you have brocolli in your teeth, or perhaps a friend gave you some sensitive advice: “hey, when you do that, people see you as annoying”- idk. But, we know we are safe with a friend because they love us. They only give advise as helpful, right? God disciples his children. You discipline your children because if you don’t they suffer in this world. We can trust Gods discipline. He is faithful.

It's my understanding that the friend is Jesus (God), He sticks closer than a brother. The wounds are correction and from sin and the wounds cause us to cry out to God and work repentance. And that is what changed me. I love Cory's music inspired by his intimacy with Father God and Jesus and Holy Spirit. Cory's music takes me into my spirit with God.

I think that's the meaning, we are wounded by this life and the Lord uses those wounds to change us. The potter and the clay. He works it for our good. He brings us out and through the suffering and when we trust Him after we come to get to know Him we know His love is perfect for us.

Don't come to a wrong conclusion about the Lord from this song. Consider: James <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="73">1:13</a> Let no one say when he is tempted (#G3985 Peirazo Thayer: To try and test for the purpose of ascertaining how he will behave or think; Strong’s #G3984: to test (objectively)), “I am tempted (#G3985 Peirazo Thayer; Strong’s #G3984 - see above) by God”; for God cannot be tempted (#G551 Apeirastos Thayer: cannot be tempted by evil, not liable to temptation to sin; Strong’s: not temptable) by evil, nor does He Himself tempt (#G3985 Peirazo Thayer; Strong’s #G3984 - see above) anyone. Trial & temptation are used as English words here very interchangeably for the concept of testing how we will respond. The scripture tells us God is not behind that. According to the conclusion, it's origin is evil. For those who love God & are called according to His purpose, He will take these things meant for evil (according to Romans <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="508">8:28</a>) and work them for good. The Lord does not wound us to heal us, for a Kingdom divided cannot stand. He is good in every way. If you hoped He could be that good, He's even better!

Definitely agree with this. I think though that all trails pass *through* his hand. He is aware of them. I like this song because it’s an expression of true human emotion, unfiltered.
