Broken

Broken hearts rule broken lives,
Shattered dreams, damaged drives,
Groaning, yearning, longing, wishing,
Hoping, falling, knowing, loathing.

A Kingdom coming though dismissed.
A King accomplishing justice
With perfect offering. Holy God
Now granting truce from threatening rod.

A mighty resurrection roar
Has proven true the rumored war.
For men who suffer Adam’s curse
Have helpless fallen, bad to worse.

Little girls with dingy glory
Beaten boys who wish the story
Wouldn’t end like this. Question, can
The heroes word still heal a man?

New freedom calls to all oppressed.
The demons must and will say yes.
They cannot hold whom he demands.
Release the shattered to his hands.

Now we who tremble through our tears
Unfolding grief with guilt and fears
Find something deep and true and real.
A present help with power to heal.

The skeptic cannot know its start,
But witness now the remade heart.
Flawed flesh with Spirit struggling mixed.
The Kingdom means that something’s fixed.
