Broken

I cant just post this song without giving the story behind the song, so consider this your “Behind the Music”…;o)

I started writing this song Sunday, during Andy’s sermon (I know that sounds like I wasn’t paying attention, but really I was). Andy gave us 8 words that he said tell the story of the bible, and one of the words kept ringing in my head…broken. I couldn’t get past it. As he repeatedly came back to that word, I read Psalm 51:17…

“The sacrifice you want is a broken spirit. A broken and repentant heart, O God you will not despise.”

As I sat and thought on these words, God just completely poured this song out of me..I swear it’s the fastest I have ever written any song in my entire life. It was the coolest feeling. Anyways, I know its hard to read just lyrics on a screen and get the whole effect of the actual song I hear in my head, but you get the general idea. :o)

Broken

Holy one
Tonight I come
I bow down before you
Righteous one
The perfect son
I surrender to you

Free me from all my sin
Lord let me live again
I desire to seek you from within

(Chorus)
I’m broken
Make me whole
Fill my soul with you
And I’m hopeless
All alone
Your mercy pulls me through
I surrender all ill ever be
and reach out for your hand
I’m broken
Jesus, make me whole again

Boundless one
You’ve just begun
To reveal your power
Faithful one
For all you’ve done
I’m forever thankful

Free me from all my sin
Lord let me live again
I desire to seek you from within

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
(I surrender all)
All I have is you
(I surrender all)
All I want is you
(I surrender all)
All my hope is you

(Repeat Chorus)
