BROKEN

(words by Kenneth Cope; music by Kenneth & Eliza Cope)

—inspired by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

 

Broken clouds give rain

Broken soil grows grain

Broken bread feeds man for one more day

 

Broken storms yield light

The break of day heals night

Broken pride turns blindness into sight

 

Broken souls that need His mending

Broken hearts for offering

Could it be that God loves broken things

 

Broken chains set free

Broken swords bring peace

Broken walls make friends of you and me

 

To break the ranks of sin

To break the news of Him

To put on Christ till His name feels broken in

 

Broken souls that need His mending

Broken hearts for offering

I believe that God loves broken things

 

And yet, our broken faith, our broken promises

Sent love to the cross

And still, that broken flesh, that broken heart of His

Offers us such grace and mercy

Covers us with love undeserving

 

This broken soul that cries for mending

This broken heart for offering

I’m convinced that God loves broken me

Praise His name—my God loves broken things

 

So, broken cloud—Give rain

And broken soil—Grow grain

And broken bread—Feed man for one more day
