Brokenness

Lord, my heart is broken

Please come and fix me

I'm in tears over the world

The would which is torn in two

Torn in two between evil and You

Evil comes and twists the knife

Twisted into people's backs

And leaves them with pain and hurt

Pain and hurt which cause wounds

Open wounds which ooze pain

Wounds which will leave scars

Whether they are physical or emotional

Lord, with your hep the wounds can be healed

Can you remove the scars as well?

And leave us clean and unblemished

And wipe the pain away

Lord, I know you can do this

I just pray that you will break us

And let us accept your love

And live in your strength and love
