Brokenness

The Lord is looking for those whose hearts are contrite and broken
Mind and emotions consumed by God through time and devotion
Their Bibles are opened, with eyes on Christ they’re focused
Their pride’s eroding, without Christ they realize they’re hopeless
Look at Jacob--wrestled with God, then his hip was broken
God blessed him, changed his name to Israel
What his lips had spoken
Look at Moses, used by God to be breaking the rock
Then water sprayed out the rock, it was hydrating the flock
Look at Judges 7 where you see the army broken
Down to 300 men, the number that God had chosen
So He could get the most glory because the Lord’s amazing
The soldiers had to break their jars before their torches blazing
Pointing to their brokenness, this is getting me hype
Then Gideon fights, defeating the Midianites
I think I figured it out whenever I seen the widow’s account
In 2nd Kings she broke the seal of her jar and the oil’s amount
Multiplied, miraculous, just like the Christ of Nazareth
He broke the bread, folks were fed, the sight is so immaculate
Look at Mary, see her breaking her jar of perfume
Washed Jesus' feet with her own hair, by her God she’s consumed
Look at Jesus' body broken by thorns and the nails
The broken women by the cross, hear their mourns and their wails
Look at Jesus, he was broken at Gethsemane
He suffered God’s wrath, he was broken for his enemies
There ain’t a problem that God can’t fix
His power and His glory is revealed through brokenness
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
My body is a tent, it’s a temporary home
While I live in it I groan, I’m weighed down by many burdens
I am certain of a future where my dwelling will be permanent
I’m a servant of my Savior who was broken to determine it
While I’m present in the body, I’m away from the Lord
There’s many troubles in this world--danger, famine, and sword
I could mention more, but in the face of death I’m full of life
'Cause none of it can separate me from the love of Christ
I was saved through his suffering
So even when I’m suffering he comforts me
I am not alone, I’m in good company, yeah
This is the path so many saints walked
But in the end they thanked God
He’s steadfast and faithful, so this is how our faith grows
The Spirit gives us eyes to see the King’s kingdom
Our hope is fixed on when the resurrected King comes
And when he does he’s making all things new
I’m crucified with Christ and God is gonna raise me too
Glory
There ain’t a problem that God can’t fix
His power and His glory is revealed through brokenness
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
Broken man, God’s redemption plan gives me hope
And that might be the rawest rhyme I ever wrote
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
Broken man, God’s redemption plan gives me hope
And that might be the rawest rhyme I ever wrote
