BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN

LYRICS by THIS BEAUTIFUL REPUBLIC

I was fallen from the first
I am not a stranger to the darkness
Walked the road of prodigals
And crawled upon my knees to You

From the ashes and the dirt
You fashion beauty from the wounds I’ve carried
Nothing lost, and all redeemed in You

Beautifully broken in Your eyes
You see the man my sins disguise
You took my place
You saved my life
Miraculous love, sweet sacrifice
Beautifully broken
You were beautifully broken

So You see me as Your own
Holy in the light of Your redemption
By the blood and by the thorn
We’re called to life

In this weakness You find strength
You find sinners who are saints
And I find amazing grace
In this sacrifice
In this death is life

LYRICS by GOV’T MULE

mysterious
blown in with the night
all this beauty captured in a frame
visibly shaken but never stirred
drives them insane
i see the way she plays her men – and i know i’ve got to know her name

she’s so beautifully broken
shaped by the wind
dangerously twisted
here i go again

i see the way she casts her spell
it’s like drowning in moonlight
discards them when she’s done
they’re lost in her twilight
i watch her move from star to star and i wonder why
why it feels so right

she’s so beautifully broken
you can barely see the flaw
especially from a distance
which is always how i fall

why do i fall for the dangerous ones
the ones that never learned to let go
and why do i lie to myself and pretend thati can break her
when she’s already been so beautifully broken

why do i fall for the dangerous ones
the ones that don’t know how to let go
and why do i lie to myself and pretend that i can break her
when she’s already been so beautifully broken

she’s so beautifully broken – shaped by the wind
dangerously twisted
here i go again
here i go again
