Broken Heart

--

Heart Broken

Self Inflicted

Identity Torn

World Failed

Life Deadended

Religion Pacified

Do’s and Don’ts Tried

Efforts Exhausted

Heart Still Broken

Deeper Pit Fallen

Solution Found

He Rescued

Self Surrendered

Heart Transplanted

Now

Christ Uniting

Spirit Sealing

Father Clinging

Word Implanting

Creature Redeeming

Beloved Calling

Hope Living

Inheritance Waiting

Eternity Longing

Offer Extended

Gift Given

Son Begotten

For Those Felt Forgotten

In Your Brokenness Hidden

Out Of Your Pit Be Lifted

Inspired by:

“I’ve been battling a broken heart

Everybody knows I’m torn apart

Since I was eight years old and I thought that

God was a girl in my school”

Mercy’s Shore by Needtobreathe

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion- to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified. — Isaiah 61:1–3
