Broken

Emotionally broken

From choices we make in our lives;

Beaten paths 

And narrow roads,

Eventually we need to choose a side. 

No one wants to be lonely

Though we're never truly alone..

Everyone wants to love someone

And everyone wants to be loved. 

Why can it never be enough,

To simply love The Lord? 

Why can we never be satisfied,

Always selfishly seeking more. 

Why do we long to please

Those that don't matter in our lives,

When we daily fail to please

The One who gave us life? 

It's a sick game we play,

Dancing with the devil

Not recognizing that he'll daily

Push us to the next level.

Another stage of sin,

Another act of rebellion,

Turning our faces from God,

When all we should do is trust Him. 

So many spoken words,

When all He's asking for is silence, 

Close your eyes and sit a while,

Find peace within His presence. 

Broken promises,

Shattered desires,

Worldly issues evolving 

From worldly liars

The world is dark, cold

And broken;

He's overcome the world, though,

Through His word He has spoken. 

Turn down the noise,

Quiet your voices, 

Stop focusing on the world, 

Let your hearts be open. 

Hear His whispers

Stirring in your heart,

Showing you who you truly are,

And that you've been lost from the start. 

Rise up again,

It's a new tomorrow,

Let Him carry you, 

Through the brokenness and the sorrow.
