broken
by Robert Abele
Lyrics
Lord, why can’t I keep my eyes on You?
I keep driftin’ left and right, don’t know what to do
Stumblin’ in the darkness that lives inside of me
My sin done found me out, Lord, set my spirit free
I’m a broken vessel, cracked and leakin’ slow
Fallen so far down, don’t know which way to go
Hold on to my life, Lord, don’t let me go
Help this sinner stand, make this broken man whole
I can taste my own death, it’s bitter on my tongue
Earned every drop of poison, every wrong I’ve done
Livin’ for myself just led me down this lonesome road
Now I’m hypnotized by all the lies I told
I’m a broken vessel, cracked and leakin’ slow
Fallen so far down, don’t know which way to go
Hold on to my life, Lord, don’t let me go
Help this sinner stand, make this broken man whole
I hate this life I’m livin’, but it ain’t Your fault, no
You made everything good, but I wrecked my soul
Slavin’ at the grind, watchin’ myself die
Walkin’ with my eyes wide open, still blind
I suffocate inside, strangled by my sin
Grave got its mouth wide open, just waitin’ for me to step in
I’m the man I never became, just an empty shell
Lord, if You don’t come quick… there won’t be nothin’ left to tell
I’m a broken vessel, but You can make me new
Fill me with Your love, the kind that’s pure and true
Not the selfish kind that only drags me down
Lord, come inside this heart before I hit the ground
Hold me in Your hand… don’t let me go…
Help this broken man… make me whole…
