I didn't think I needed you,
I thought I could do it on my own,
I thought my fate was in my hands,
I thought I was strong enough to go it alone.
I thought I could achieve anything,
That possibility may deny,
I thought that if I jumped from high enough,
I could teach myself to fly.
But now I see that I was wrong,
I'm not so great; I'm not so strong,
And I'm fragile as I fall so far
And I shatter if I fall too hard.
So in my disgrace I come to you,
Now I've realized who you are,
And I come to you in brokenness,
Cracked and smashed and scarred.
I'm splintered in a thousand pieces,
Ripped apart and torn in two,
But you don't care as you pick up all the fragments,
Cause I'm beautifully broken to you.
And my heart is scattered like shattered glass,
But you don't see it as others do,
You see it as it glints in the midday sun,
Cause I'm beautifully broken to you.
Cause though I'm broken by the life I lead,
Though I'm ruined by my sin,
You look at me through forgiving eyes,
And in your grace you take me in.
You still answer when I'm calling,
And you still catch me as I'm falling,
Though I'm distorted through and through
Cause I'm beautifully broken, I'm beautifully broken to you.
