Broken Man Prayer

מילים

[Verse 1] I been leanin’ on a fence that ain’t there no more Boots full of mud from the longest road Mama prayed over me at the screen door light I still went chasing thunder through the county night Now I’m split in two with my head bowed low Tell me, Lord, why me? What’d You break me for? [Pre-Chorus] I can’t hide this scar You already know I’m on my knees again in the red dirt glow If You hear my name through the trouble and smoke say something back to me before I let go [Chorus] Why’d You make me broken? (broken) Why’d You leave me here? (here) If You’re still in this valley show me You are near Why’d You make me broken? (broken) I need You to speak Tell me I’m not ruined Tell me You still need me [Verse 2] I got a cracked-up heart and a house gone cold A stack of hard days I can’t carry alone I swung at the dark like it owed me cash Ended up face-down in the same old ash So I said, “Lord, if You’re listening why’d You let me fall?” And the silence hit harder than the brick wall [Pre-Chorus] Then the room got still like the rain outside Like a hand on my chest and a flame alive I heard a voice come soft through the wreckage and smoke not a roar from the sky just truth in my bones [Chorus] Why’d You make me broken? (broken) Why’d You leave me here? (here) If You’re still in this valley show me You are near Why’d You make me broken? (broken) I need You to speak Tell me I’m not ruined Tell me You still need me [Bridge] Son, I never made you worthless I met you in the fracture I don’t waste a single tear I bend the blade, then I take ya I let the night press hard so your pride would fall away I was building up your faith in the middle of the pain You called it breaking I called it home You called it lonely I said, come on [Chorus] Why’d You make me broken? (broken) Why’d You leave me here? (here) If You’re still in this valley show me You are near Why’d You make me broken? (broken) I need You to speak Tell me I’m not ruined Tell me You still need me [Outro] And He said, “I do” I said, “I’m scared” He said, “I know” Then He stayed right there I’m a broken man but I’m in Your hands I’m a broken man and I still can stand
