Broken Lyrics

Broken
by
Altar Boys
(From the album Against the Grain)
based on Psalm 51
As I stand before you, I see who I am:
A man who needs to confess his pride and foolishness.
Against you only I have sinned.
I've done what's evil in your sight and my heart is crumbling.
And I'm broken. Broken.
To see myself as I really am, a weak, broken man.
Won't you hear my cry, God?
See the state I'm in.
I know my transgressions are before me,
My righteousness is rags.
My sacrifice to you is this broken heart.
It's all I have, it's all I can give, and it won't go very far...
'Cause it's broken. Broken.
Please heal this broken heart today.
Don't turn it away because it's...broken!
(G) Em C D C D7 G (short musical break)
Have mercy on me, God.
Do I stand condemned?
Let me know the joy and thanksgiving,
God, take away my sin.
I wanna know what it is, God,
To have that faith,
To keep on runnin', keep on going,
Put that strength in me.
Cause I'm broken. Broken.
To see myself as I really am, a weak, broken man.
And I'm broken. Broken.
Please heal this broken heart today,
Don't turn it away because it's...broken.
Broken, broken,
Oh, yes, I'm broken.
I stand before you now...
