Lyrics
Broken Places
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lay down your weary head
When the troubled waters flow
Life breaks us all sometimes
Where we need to grow
Innocence is not a crime
In time we understand
And find the grace of mercy
Sifting through the fingers of God's hand
Chorus:
I know the broken places
I've grown strong in every one
Sewn in the empty spaces
A seed of work left to be done
Each wound my heart embraces
Becomes a cry that God has won
And He knows the broken places
In barren fields my heart was led
And I waited there alone
Shaken by my brokenness
As I faced the great unknown
Then I heard the voice of peace
In this distance desert land
Reached out for the promise
That was born for every man
Repeat Chorus
God knows the broken places
He treasures every tear
In a jar of alabaster
He'll use to wash away the years
The years of broken places
I can name them one by one
And with His love He traces
The seed of work soon to be done
Each wound my heart embraces
Becomes a cry that God has won
I know the broken places
I've lived
I've breathed survived each one
Sewn in the empty spaces
A seed of work left to be done
Each wound my heart embraces
Becomes a witness to someone
God heals the broken places
