Brokenness
As I stare at this broken mirror
The brokenness that stares back is clearer
It’s brokenness that I need to know
Tells me what I want to show
Brokenness is not for the weak in heart
Nor is it for the one who’s smart
Brokenness has a many of scars
They come from battles and wars
Brokenness can tell a story
Some details can even get gory
Brokenness has character
Find out as the pot gets a stir
Most brokenness gets pushed around
It even gets dropped to the ground
Look up look down look all around
Can you see brokenness on this frown
Brokenness has a side you’ll want to know
This is a side that can steal the show
Here’s a side I want you to see
It has strength and shows bravery
Oh yes, strength is a must
To last any time there has to be trust
Brokenness didn’t happen just like that
It was initiated by a cause that’s a fact
Brokenness doesn’t mean I’m weak
No, there’s not even a mean streak
Brokenness says; Hey I am strong
Look don’t get me wrong
I ain’t no push over that’s for sure
Brokenness has to have a cure
His Name is Jesus
Brokenness is not how He sees us
He saw my brokenness and touched my heart
He’s healing my brokenness, now that’s a start
Way back when I said strength is a must
It’s my Jesus who I trust
It’s because Jesus that I lasted this long
To carry brokenness, to say I’m strong
It’s because of Jesus I stood the test
Then made it thru such a mess
In all my weakness, He is my strength
As long as I don’t keep him at arms length
