Shattered waves of pain crashing over me Shattered hopes and dreams crushed beneath my feet Shattered broken leg brings me to my knees Shattered lying helpless, under the Mighty Hand of God Shattered mended bone stayed with a pin and rod Shattered restless heart from a flaming furious fall Shattered year of pain, held within Your grasp Shattered loss of life, Lord, restore is all I ask Shattered by Your purposes, my heart is broken glass Shattered, weak, and frail, my strength is all but gone Shattered, feeling helpless, my body long, and gaunt Shattered muscles worthless, no strength to carry on Shattered by my image, the reflection that I see Shattered by this broken frame that once knew Beauty Shattered by this constant pain that calls me unworthy Shattered waves of shame crashing over me Shattered broken bone brings loss of intimacy Shattered by rejection no words can rescue me Shattered waves of darkness flooding ore' my soul Shattered dreams of dancing, before Your throne, Oh LORD Shattered visions hopeless, please heal, and make me whole Shattered for Your Kingdom, a mission call to serve Shattered for my healing, to speak, and share Your Word Shattered for Your Glory, to heal a Broken world Shattered waves of Love crashing over me Shattered plans of mine, fulfill my destiny Shattered lives to heal, a sacrificial offering Job 30:24-28 New King James Version 24 “Surely He would not stretch out His hand against a heap of ruins,If they cry out when He destroys it. 25 Have I not wept for him who was in trouble?Has not my soul grieved for the poor? 26 But when I looked for good, evil came to me;And when I waited for light, then came darkness. 27 [a]My heart is in turmoil and cannot rest;Days of affliction confront me. 28 I go about mourning, but not in the sun;I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.
