The world has a way of blaming the heart
Of tearing the plans and the blueprints apart
I've walked through the shadows
Iāve lost all my will
In the cold of the night when the spirit is still
Through every crack in this wounded old soul
Your mercy poured in and it made me feel whole
I thought I was finished. I thought I was done
But grace picked me up when the shadows had won
Lord, I'm broken, but I'm blessed
Finding rest within this mess
Iāve been bruised but not destroyed
Yet in my weakness
I found your joy
Now every scar is a story to tell
That your love is the well
Where the weary can dwell
I tried to hide all the shame and the stain
But I heard a whisper in the midst of the rain
Reminding me tears that fall from my eyes
A water proceeds that are waiting to rise
Now I'm standing firm on this gospel ground
What once was lost is finally been found
You aren't finished yet with a clay in your hand
Building a life that I don't understand
Lord, I'm broken, but I'm blessed
Finding rest within this mess
I've been bruised, but not destroyed yet
2:582 minutes, 58 seconds
In my weakness, I found your joy
And now every scar is a story to tell
That your love is the well where the weary can dwell
If I die tomorrow, will my work still have undone?
With all the battles that I never truly won
Hold my hand and lead me to the sun
Lord, I'm broken, but Iām blessed
Iāve been rest within this mess
I've been bruised, but not destroyed, yeah
In my weakness, I found your joy
In the grace you used to feel
Broken but blessed
Beauty for pain
Hallelujah
To your name
Of tearing the plans and the blueprints apart
I've walked through the shadows
Iāve lost all my will
In the cold of the night when the spirit is still
Through every crack in this wounded old soul
Your mercy poured in and it made me feel whole
I thought I was finished. I thought I was done
But grace picked me up when the shadows had won
Lord, I'm broken, but I'm blessed
Finding rest within this mess
Iāve been bruised but not destroyed
Yet in my weakness
I found your joy
Now every scar is a story to tell
That your love is the well
Where the weary can dwell
I tried to hide all the shame and the stain
But I heard a whisper in the midst of the rain
Reminding me tears that fall from my eyes
A water proceeds that are waiting to rise
Now I'm standing firm on this gospel ground
What once was lost is finally been found
You aren't finished yet with a clay in your hand
Building a life that I don't understand
Lord, I'm broken, but I'm blessed
Finding rest within this mess
I've been bruised, but not destroyed yet
2:582 minutes, 58 seconds
In my weakness, I found your joy
And now every scar is a story to tell
That your love is the well where the weary can dwell
If I die tomorrow, will my work still have undone?
With all the battles that I never truly won
Hold my hand and lead me to the sun

In my weakness, I found your joy
In the grace you used to feel
Broken but blessed
Beauty for pain
Hallelujah
To your name
