Broken

Dear God, I am broken inside, As far from Your face, I hide. The weight of my shame and sin, Devastate me – without and within. I repent and turn back to You, You reconcile and make me new. But I am only human and full of sin, And I fall back again and again. O God, I am broken again, And I know I must make amends, To the ones I have hurt and been unjust, But they are full of rejection and mistrust. I hold on to who You are, Your love reaches near or far. I make amends and leave the rest to You, Your love and grace will see me through. God, I am broken, as life takes its toll. The weight of this world overwhelms my soul. There are days I feel I can’t go on, And maybe I wish that I could be gone. Then You send me reminders of who You are, Through Your Word and friends, near and far. You tell me that one day, I will see you in heaven, And never again, will I be broken.
