From Indelible Grace:

There is great comfort in knowing that Jesus understands suffering not just theoretically, but experientially. This hymn is a heart cry to the only God who has wounds to shelter us in His wounded side. We are amazed to remember that His \"heart is touched with all our joys and feels for all our grief,\" and this truth is a healing balm for those who have seen the ugliness of their sin. This hymn reminds me of the powerful words of Edward Shilito, a poet writing in the wake of World War I, who wrote:

The other gods were strong; but Thou wast weak;
They rode, but Thou didst stumble to a throne;
But to our wounds only God's wounds can speak,
And not a god has wounds, but Thou alone.
