The Sacrifice of a Broken Thing

Описание: The Sacrifice of a Broken Thing

(Verse 1: The Impure Heart)
The mirror of my soul is stained and dim,
I’ve filled the temple with the ghost of sin.
I reached for shadows while I called Your Name,
Now all that’s left is this burning shroud of shame.
Cleanse the deep places where the darkness lies,
Before the holy fire of Your searching eyes.
"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10)

(Verse 2: The Undisciplined Soul)
I am a wanderer with no compass in my hand,
Building my kingdoms on the shifting, desert sand.
My soul is a wild thing, refusing every rein,
Chasing the pleasure, but reaping only pain.
Hold me in the hollow of Your discipline and grace,
Till I learn to seek the quiet of Your face.
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7)
(Chorus)

Let my heart feel broken, if it breaks Yours too,
I’m coming home, Lord, to be made new.
Not with the silver or the gold of men,
But with a spirit crushed, to be built again.
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." (Psalm 51:17)
(Verse 3: The Doubting Mind)
My thoughts are waves, driven by the gale,
Watching for a shore where my tiny faith might fail.
I ask for wisdom, then I fear the answer's cost,
A double-minded man, forever feeling lost.
But I will cast my shaking faith upon Your shore,
And ask for mercy, just like the one before.
"Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, 'I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!'" (Mark 9:24)

(Bridge)
You are near to the crushed, You are close to the low,
You take the shards of a life and make them glow.
You don’t turn away from the tears of the weak,
You are the very Strength that the weary seek.
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18)

(Outro)
A broken spirit is all I bring to the flame,
Forgive the heart that forgot its Father’s name.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)
