A Call to Higher Places

In Brokenness You Shine

When life becomes a shattered dream
That’s slipping through my trembling hands
I need to know that You are near
To know You see each falling tear

When there is no one else who understands

When I can’t find the words to speak
You hear the pain in each heart beat
Before I even call to You
In my deepest hour of need
That’s when You come and pour Your mercy on me

Your beauty shines
Your love surrounds
Where cries of brokenness are found bring hope alive
Help me believe
And trust You one more time
In brokenness You shine
In brokenness You shine

Let comfort be a living thing
A river flowing from my grief
Where thirsty souls can drink their fill
And find in You their heart’s release
And through my sorrow show Your freedom and hope

How could I know when others said
A word or two then walked away
That you, the Man of Sorrows
Would come near to stay
You’ll always stay

I want to see
Your beauty one more time
In brokenness You shine
In brokenness You shine
