Broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I’m a broken man

Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Been broken again
Knocked to the ground
Oh I’ve been around

Hallelujah
Been battered and bruised
Lied to and misused
Hopelessly confused

Spoke to the Lord
Called out His Name
Though I don’t know how
To get past the shame
Broken and battered
Soulless and shattered
Filthy and splattered
A life all in tatters
Nothing that matters
My world a disaster
Just failing faster

Hallelujah

Won it to lose it
Loved and abused it
Took it for granted
I rhymed and I ranted
Then just refused it

Cursed those who reached out
Now I can’t breathe out
Only thing left… is doubt

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I’m a broken man
Nothing more than a token man
Oh, I am chokin man
On my own pride
Been a hard ride
Been a long slide
With nowhere to turn
Time and money I’ve burned
Friendships and loves
Cast aside no regrets
I played the game
And I made my bets

Now broken and bruised
From all the abuse
No point, no purpose
No sense, no use

Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Nothing to say
Don’t know how to pray
But I’m ready today
A broken man
Misspoken man
I’m a joke man

And lost

Oh but He found me
And He claimed me
Completely reframed me
My Lord He renamed me
My God, He loved me
Just how He found me
And now He unbound me

Hallelujah

Free from the past
Free at long last
Broken but Healed
Forgiven and sealed

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

your poem was inspirational and spoke of salvaton in its purest sense. Liked the last few lines :-)
