Blessed Brokenness

Content in my comfortable life I’m living everyday Taking life for granted Doing things my way My life was mediocre Lord, I was standing still Trotting down my path Ignoring Your perfect will All came crashing down That dark and sobering day God, I can’t stop crying Don’t take it all away Everyday I’m waiting Questions stir my mind The Lord gives me answers Father, I’ve been so blind In my utter darkness To me He still draws near Child I’ve been calling you God, I didn’t hear Slowly I am drowning I weep every night Lord, I need Your strength Does He really hear my plight? But then He lifts me up While dusting off my back Filling me with hope And the faith that I lack Lord, it’s getting tough I want to run away But He’s by my side So I find the strength to stay God I’m on my knees You’re whispering my name You’ve given me new life I’ll never be the same You’ve lit my heart on fire Redeemed me with Your grace Your love is like a flood - God, I see Your face –Amanda Twellman, June 2002 O Lord, you have searched me and known me! Psalm 139:1
