Broken But Still Beautiful
December 4, 2009
They nailed him to a killing tree
His life drained out in misery
He cried out, “God, don’t leave me here!
I can’t take more, my death is near!”
Chorus
He was broken by sin
He was broken by pain
He surrendered his life
He gave all that was left
He was broken and scarred
He was broken and marred
He was broken, but he was still beautiful
They found an empty tomb that day
Their minds confused, their hearts dismayed
But there he stood, with nail-scarred hands
Alive! Alive! A risen Man!
Chorus
A troubled soul, immersed in strife
He’d done it all, destroyed his life
Before he chose to end it all
He cried to God, “Please hear my call!”
Chorus
I love you son, you’re dear to me
I want you for all eternity
I’ll heal your scars, and make you whole
I’ll hold you close, embrace your soul
Chorus 2
You were broken by sin
You were broken by pain
You surrendered your life
You gave all that was left
You were broken and scarred
You were broken and marred
You were broken, but you were still beautiful
Chorus 3
You are broken by sin
You are broken by pain
Please surrender your life
Give Him all you have left
You are broken and scarred
You are broken and marred
You are broken
But you are still beautiful!
