Broken People
Embracing Redemption: Broken Hearts, Healed Souls
Lyrics
I was broken
I experienced a state of emotional or spiritual brokenness.
I was lost and all on my own
I was lost and without support, entirely on my own.
Then you found me
Someone found and embraced me.
And called me your own
This person claimed me as their own.
You were broken
This person, who found me, was also in a state of brokenness.
You were sent to seek and to save
This person was sent with a purpose - to seek and save.
All of my sin
All of my sins were placed in the metaphorical grave of this person.
Was left in your grave
The person who found me experienced brokenness and death.
So tell all my friends there's a kingdom come
Spread the message to my friends that there is a coming kingdom.
A holy love and a place for us
A sacred love and a place are prepared for us.
We're broken people learning to love
We, as broken individuals, are in the process of learning to love.
Broken people loved by a God who was broken for us
We, broken people, are loved by a God who experienced brokenness for us.
We're broken people learning to love
Continuation of the theme of broken people learning to love.
Broken people loved by a God who was broken for us
Reiteration of broken people being loved by a God who was broken for us.
I was hopeless
I was without hope.
So blinded, I couldn't see
I was so blinded that I couldn't perceive your completeness and love.
Your wholeness and love would set me free
Your wholeness and love had the power to set me free.
We were hopeless
We, as a collective, were without hope.
But your love changed everything
Your love brought about a transformative change in everything.
From orphans to children of the King
We transitioned from being orphans to becoming children of the King.
Tell all your friends there's a kingdom come
Encouragement to share the news that a kingdom is forthcoming.
A holy love and a place for us
Reiteration of a holy love and a place being prepared for us.
We're broken people learning to love
Reiteration of broken people in the process of learning to love.
Broken people loved by a God who was broken for us
Broken people are loved by a God who underwent brokenness for us.
We're broken people learning to love
Continuation of the theme of broken people learning to love.
Broken people loved by a God who was broken for us
Reiteration of broken people being loved by a God who was broken for us.
Ohhhhhh - why do I hurt the ones who mean the most to me
Expressing confusion or regret about causing harm to those close.
Ohhhhhh - why do we hurt the ones who fight for the same things
Pondering on why people harm those who share similar values and goals.
Ohhhhhh- why do we make such a mess of everything
Reflecting on the tendency to create chaos and disorder in various aspects of life.
Cause we're broken people learning to love
We are broken people in the process of learning to love.
Broken people loved by a God who was broken for us
Broken people are loved by a God who underwent brokenness for us.
We're broken people learning to love
Continuation of the theme of broken people learning to love.
Broken people loved by a God who was broken for us
Reiteration of broken people being loved by a God who was broken for us.
We're broken people
Emphasizing the state of brokenness in the collective.
We're broken people
Reiteration of the collective identity as broken people.
We're broken people
