God loves Broken Things


Broken
(Words by Kenneth Cope; Music by Kenneth & Eliza Cope)
—inspired by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland  
Broken clouds give rain
Broken soil grows grain
Broken bread feeds man for one more day  
Broken storms yield light
The break of day heals night
Broken pride turns blindness into sight  
Broken souls that need His mending Broken hearts for offering Could it be that God loves broken things  

Broken chains set free
Broken swords bring peace
Broken walls make friends of you and me  
To break the ranks of sin
To break the news of Him
To put on Christ till His name feels broken in  
Broken souls that need His mending Broken hearts for offering I believe that God loves broken things  

And yet, our broken faith, our broken promises
Sent love to the cross
And still, that broken flesh, that broken heart of His
Offers us such grace and mercy
Covers us with love undeserving  
This broken soul that cries for mending This broken heart for offering I’m convinced that God loves broken me Praise His name—my God loves broken things  

So, broken cloud—Give rain
And broken soil—Grow grain
And broken bread—Feed man for one more day
