"Broken"

Stoned by the past
To find a safe place
Hidden in your promise
To cry out your word
Lost and searching often
wandering like a sheep
Restless and lonely always
Tied mistakenly to my frail grip

Your power has taken me
To a place where your sacrifice reigns
This is where I build your temple
Although unworthy of your name
This is where I stand righteous
Because of your blood and your death
This is where I come broken
For your wisdom and your strength

Uncontented on how you freed me
You never measured how much you gave
You looked at me and saw destiny
A stained life that’s now been saved
Journeys and exiles, the staff and your cross
Pillars and kingdoms, slaves and prophets
All for my life’s cost

The price has been paid
Through the covenant that you’ve made
This faithless soul in me
You’ve redeemed with great mercy

Your power has taken me
To a place where your sacrifice reigns
This is where I build your temple
Although unworthy of your name
This is where I stand righteous
Because of your blood and your death
This is where I come broken
For your wisdom and your strength
