Living Broken in the Spring

Living Broken in the Spring
Crying over everything
World outside is fresh and green
Bursting forth new life unseen

Storms and rainfall fill the earth
Bringing dormant ground new birth
Calling winter now be past
Light and life be beaconed fast

Buds on trees are blossoming
Blooming colors kissed by a King
Waiting for the Word to grow
Heaven putting on a show

God’s own Glory on display
Breathing Life in every day
Birds are nesting in the trees
Capturing flight upon a breeze

The sunshine calls me, “Come outside”
“Little Broken One, Arise”
Lift your weary head and see
The life that calls you, “Come be free”

Open up your heart that mourns
I was Broken. Wore the thorns
Bore the pain that you now feel
So your Brokenness may Heal

Walk this Broken path with Me
Your life is more than you can see
Your heart is worth far more than Gold
Not the words you have been told

Brokenness is at the core 
But freedom’s standing at your door
Follow me into this place
Feel my Love, my Hope, my Grace

There is a purpose for this Season
Though you cannot fathom reason
Stuck inside within your pain
I Am Breathing Life again

Listen to the Voice that calls
Living life outside these walls
Walk beyond your Broken Heart
Tomorrow, is a brand new start

Believe the Beautiful!
