I�m Broken

I�m broken, Father
My cloak is torn.
The hem is frayed,
The edges worn.

Where once I was
Dressed in white
Washed in blood
Clothed in your light

I stand naked
Holding pieces together
I�m broken, Lord.
I�m broken forever.

I�ve turned away
From the plough
What can I say?
What do I do now?

I�m broken, Lord.
Am I beyond repair?
I�m crying out
But are you even there?

There are holes
No cloth can patch
Bits and pieces
I can�t seem to match

I�m barely hanging
From a string
Can�t remember when
I�ve prayed, can�t sing

I�m broken, Lord
I�m broken bad
Can�t hide my face
Keep feeling sad.

Can you dry
These tears I�ve cried?
Can you forgive
The sins inside?

Am I too far
Your arm can�t find
A redeeming feature
In my heart or mind?

Am I as worthless
As I feel inside?
Should I release
The pain I hide?

I�m broken, Lord
I�m filled with fear
Only You can bring
Your healing here

Into your hands
I surrender my soul
Please fix me, Lord
Please make me whole

I�m broken, Lord
I�m broken bad
Please take my hurt
And make me glad

I was touched by your poem. The whole thing was beautiful, but may I disagree with the third verse, "I'm broken forever"? God breaks us only to restore us to a better place than before. It won't be forever. :) In Christ, Lisa
