The Broken Beautiful
Transforming Brokenness: Discovering Beauty in Pain
Lyrics
I know that I don't bring a lot to the table
I acknowledge that I may not offer much in relationships.
Just little pieces of a broken heart
I come with fragments of a wounded heart.
There's days I wonder if you'll still be faithful
There are moments of doubt about your continued faithfulness.
Hold me together when I fall apart?
Can you hold me together when I experience emotional breakdowns?
Would you remind me now of who you are?
Would you remind me of your character?
That your love will never change
Assurance that your love is constant and unchanging.
That there's healing in your name
Emphasis on the healing power present in your name.
That you can take broken things
Claiming the ability to transform broken things.
And make them beautiful
Highlighting the transformative nature of turning brokenness into beauty.
You took my shame
Reference to the redemption of personal shame.
And you walked out of the grave
Symbolic imagery of resurrection and overcoming challenges.
So your love can take broken things
Reiterating the idea that love can transform brokenness.
And make them beautiful
Reaffirmation of the beauty arising from brokenness.
I'm better off when I begin to remember
Expressing personal growth through remembering past hardships.
How you have met me in my deepest pain
Recognition of encountering divine presence in times of deep pain.
So give me glimpses now of how you have covered
Desire for glimpses of how divine grace has covered heartaches.
All of my heart ache, oh with all your grace
Acknowledging divine grace in overcoming heartaches.
Remind me now that you can make a way
Requesting a reminder of the divine ability to make a way.
You say that you'll turn my weeping into dancing
Quoting divine promise to transform weeping into joyous dancing.
Remove my sadness & cover me with joy
Expressing the desire for the removal of sadness and the embrace of joy.
You say your scars are the evidence of healing
Emphasizing that scars are evidence of healing.
That you can make the broken beautiful
Reiterating the divine ability to make the broken beautiful.
You make us beautiful, oh oh
A declaration that divine power makes people beautiful.
You make us beautiful
Reaffirmation that divine power transforms individuals into something beautiful.
