Broken hearted grace

A broken spirit and contrite heart O Lord, you will not despise.

Broken Hearted Grace

Don’t!
sing to me about amazing,
Don’t!
preach to me about grace.
You whitewashed tombs!

There are sheep without a shepherd.

Show me! Eliza Dolittle said,
Where is the love? ask the Black Eyed Peas.

Are my eyes at fault?
‘Cos I can’t see
Where is the light?
Just can’t taste the salt
But for the sea
Of tears I’ve cried.

We’re sheep without a shepherd.

Too many broken hearts
Too many crushed souls
Harassed helpless
Lost inside the catacombs
Amidst the temple maze

They’re sheep without a shepherd.

Jesus the good Shepherd says:

Do you truly love me more than these?
Feed my lambs.

Do you truly love me?
Take care of my sheep.

Do you love me?
Feed my sheep.

My broken-hearted Shepherd,
You know all things,
You know that I love you.
Search my heart,
Lead me that I may follow
Your broken-hearted grace.


I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you;
I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
