In my brokenness, gripped by angst of futility
when unfinished goals reign midst schedule’s certainty
I cry to God for His guiding authority
dispelling despair and anxiety…
His help enables me move on toward victorious serenity.
Despite my brokenness, leaving me feel belittled
frustrated by weakness’ failure, sorely embattled
I seek the Saviour Who keeps my heart safely handled…
His wisdom directs me against being rattled
so by His grace, I start anew, peacefully settled.
Overcoming brokenness, midst missing mark of excellence
though striving for righteousness, trusting supreme Providence
I’m sanctified by His forgiveness of divine iridescence
putting to shame my selfish intents of vain influence
His standards propel me toward noble persistence.
Healed from brokenness*, grateful that from guilt I’m freed
to Christ, I cleave, fulfilling my roles with His approval indeed
persevering for dreams’ fruition along time to heed
fighting slothfulness and unproductiveness-breed
triumphing through His strength I constantly need.
Prevailing over brokenness, realizing tenacious pride’s height
I’m humbled by the Lord for insisting self-will’s might
being adamant in challenging His perfect timing so right
in the guise of doing my utmost best with commitment-light…
now, with servant’s spirit, I yield to Him with faith’s delight.
*Psalm 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Psalm147:3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
