Break Free
Standing here looking at the sky
I see the birds spread their wings and fly away
If they only knew how I envy them
But instead I’m stuck here with my feet on the ground.
I keep going round and round in my head
Dealing with the thoughts I can’t seem to shake.
It’s like my feet are stuck in the thickest mud
And I just can’t seem to get out.
But I don’t have to
I don’t have to have chains of bondage.
I have a choice
God has given me a choice
God has given me freedom
To break free
I see and feel bars all around me
I feel the pain of the shackles on my feet
I search desperately for the key
Or at least something to pick the lock
I try to use substitutes and distractions
Things that will never replace
I try to do it on my own
But end up on my knees.
But I don’t have to
I don’t have to have chains of bondage.
I have a choice
God has given me a choice
God has given me freedom
To break free
I’m going to break free
God has given the key
God has given me wings
God opens the door
I spread my wings
To break free
I’m going to break free
Beautiful Brokenness
There was that moment in time
When my world feel apart.
Doubled-over in pain
From a broken heart.
Everything went from bad to worse
Just like the life of Job.
I craved the sunrise
After the darkest night.
There’s a beauty in brokenness
A diamond in the rough.
A single shining star in the dark
But never seen til night.
Refined gold never shines
Unless put through the fire.
Beautiful brokenness.
I see the faces around me
Haunted by suffering.
Hurt, distress, worry, grief.
Why must it be this way?
Amidst the dark, I see a dim light.
The light of hope not seen in the day.
If we never know pain
We’ll never know true joy.
There’s a beauty in brokenness
A diamond in the rough.
A single shining star in the dark
But never seen til night.
Refined gold never shines
Unless put through the fire.
Beautiful brokenness.
I can’t shine til tried
A light in the dark
I can’t be beautiful
Til I’m broken
God uses the broken
