Lyrics
Verse 1
The world has a way
Of breaking the heart
Of tearing the plans
And the blueprints apart
I’ve walked through the shadows
I’ve lost all my will
In the cold of the night
When the spirit is still
Chorus
Through every crack in this wounded old soul
Your mercy poured in and it made me feel whole
I thought I was finished, I thought I was done
But grace picked me up when the shadows had won
Lord, I’m broken, but I’m blessed
Finding rest within this mess
I’ve been bruised, but not destroyed yet
In my weakness, I found your joy
Now every scar is a story to tell
That your love is the well where the weary can dwell
Verse 2
I tried to hide all the shame and the stain
But I heard a whisper in the midst of the rain
Reminding me tears that fall from my eyes
Are water for seeds that are waiting to rise
Now I’m standing firm on this gospel ground
What once was lost has finally been found
You aren’t finished yet with the clay in your hand
Building a life that I don’t understand
Chorus
And Lord, I’m broken, but I’m blessed
Finding rest within this mess
I’ve been bruised, but not destroyed yet
In my weakness, I found your joy
Now every scar is a story to tell
That your love is the well where the weary can dwell
Bridge
If I die tomorrow with my work still half undone
With all the battles that I never truly won
Then hold my hand and lead me to the Son
Chorus
Lord, I’m broken, but I’m blessed
Finding rest within this mess
I’ve been bruised, but not destroyed yet
In my weakness, I found your joy
And the grace you used to fill
Broken, but blessed
Beauty for pain
Hallelujah to your name
