Monday Music - Even with My Broken Heart

Deep inside my broken heart
There's a taste of bitter tears,
There's a sound of crying.
Hidden in the darkest part
There's a list of ways to fail,
There's a fear of trying.
Though the rain is cold
And the bitter winds blow right through,
I will not let go
Of the reason for hope I've found in you.

Jesus guard my troubled mind,
Tired of this road I'm on–
Weary in well-doing.
You're the way I hope to find
Something true to lean upon,
A life worth pursuing.
Though the night seems long
And I can't see beyond my pain,
I await the dawn
When you'll turn all my trials into gain.

You can calm the raging sea–
You can set the prisoner free–
So touch me deep inside my broken heart.
You can still the restless soul–
You can make the wounded whole so hold me,
Show me how to make a start
Even with my broken heart.

Somewhere in my broken heart
There's a hope that still remains,
There's a candle burning.
Deeper than these wounds and scars
There's a peace that won't let go,
There's a calm assurance.
Though it's hard to see,
In your arms I won't be afraid.
I believe you'll keep
Everyone of the promises you've made.

You can calm the raging sea–
You can set the prisoner free–
So touch me deep inside my broken heart.
You can still the restless soul–
You can make the wounded whole so hold me,
Show me how to make a start
Even with my broken heart.
