Broken Thing
Redemption in Brokenness: A Song of Imperfect Beauty
Lyrics
I tried to walk quickly past the water's edge
I attempted to move quickly along the water's edge.
Didn't wanna see my own reflection
I didn't want to confront my own reflection.
But I just stepped off the highest ledge
I took a daring step from the highest ledge.
And fell into the sea of imperfection
I plunged into a sea of imperfection.
And just like every other time before
Similar to previous experiences, as in the past.
I washed up in pieces on the shore
I ended up in pieces on the shore.
But you found beauty in this broken thing
You discovered beauty in my broken state.
Made angels dance with wounded wings
You caused angels to dance despite their wounded wings.
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
I cannot fathom anything more beautiful.
You took the damaged part of me
You took the damaged part of me.
Restored what little dignity was left inside
You restored the little dignity left inside.
This broken thing
This broken thing.
Yeah, I was wading in deep despair
I was immersed in profound despair.
Wandering with no sense of direction
Wandering without a clear sense of direction.
Thinking prayers just vanished in the air
Thinking prayers disappeared into the air.
Cause I got myself in this situation
I got myself into this challenging situation.
And just like every other time before
Similar to previous experiences, as before.
You made the pieces into so much more
You transformed the pieces into something more.
You found beauty in this broken thing
You found beauty in my broken state.
Made angels dance with wounded wings
You caused angels to dance despite their wounded wings.
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
I cannot fathom anything more beautiful.
You took the damaged part of me
You took the damaged part of me.
Restored what little dignity was left inside
You restored the little dignity left inside.
This broken thing
This broken thing.
I know I'm not worthy of this
I acknowledge my unworthiness of this.
Never ending perfect love
Endless perfect love.
You found beauty in this broken thing
You found beauty in my broken state.
And I can't imagine anything more beautiful
I cannot fathom anything more beautiful.
You found beauty in this broken thing
You found beauty in my broken state.
Made angels dance with wounded wings
You caused angels to dance despite their wounded wings.
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
I cannot fathom anything more beautiful.
You took the damaged part of me
You took the damaged part of me.
Restored what little dignity was left inside
You restored the little dignity left inside.
Was left inside this broken thing
What was left inside this broken thing.
I know I'm not worthy of this
I acknowledge my unworthiness of this love.
Never ending perfect love
Endless perfect love.
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
I cannot fathom anything more beautiful.
You found beauty in this broken thing
You found beauty in my broken state.
This broken thing
This broken thing.
I know I'm not worthy of this love
I acknowledge my unworthiness of this love.
