Broken clouds give rain
Broken soil grows grain
Broken bread feeds man for one more day
Broken storms yield light
Break of day heals night
Broken pride turns blindness into sight
Broken souls that need His mending
Broken hearts for offering
Could it be that God loves broken things?

I have been thinking about that last line ever since. Whether it is all true or not (I believe He would prefer we didn't break due to pride in the first place) I do believe that through being broken we can draw much closer to Him. Through pain and despair comes understanding and strength and peace. These words helped me through a very difficult week. I hope they can help you too.
Beautiful! I've never heard this song, but the lyrics are so poignant. Thanks for sharing, Amy.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ash, thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love that song! The first time I heard it, I was on my mission and it made me cry so hard.
