Love and brokenness share the same heart. They need each other like hope needs courage, and evil needs pain. I'm convinced that they are at the center of everything God is longing to do in the world, to bring every human being to a place where they are useable, pliable, and broken. We were made to respond to love...not just in the romantic sense but in a "letting it take us apart" sense - allowing the attributes of true love as explained in 1 Corinthians 13 to test and prod us until we reflect its image.
Mark me with Your grace
Shape me in Your wisdom
Place in me a heart
Of mercy
Open up my eyes
Let me see Your glory
Lead me to the place
You want me
Love, break me now
Strip me down
May Your beauty
Deep inside of me resound
Through me be found
Come break me now
Guide me in Your truth
Mold me in Your nature
Birth in me a hope
To hold on
Show me how to wait
Teach me how to listen
Be in me the strength
To let go
Break me now...
Love, hear my plea
Rescue me, bring Your peace
I have come to You on bended knee
I'm desperate for Your breath in me
Your ears to hear, Your eyes to see
Set me free, come set me free
