Gospel. Jazz. Two great pairings. And the lyrics of Stuart Townend make this a go-to song.
This is actually one of my husband’s favorite songs and I heard it on Sunday and it had me in tears by the end of it. Wherever you are broken – look to the Healer to be mended.
My God
My God, full of mercy,
Heard our weeping,
Came to bring us home again.
My God takes the broken and makes them whole.
My God touched the leper,
Raised the lame man,
And He caused the blind to see.
My God takes the broken and makes them whole.
My God stood for justice,
Shamed the prideful,
But He called the sinner friend.
My God takes the broken and makes them whole.
My God felt the anguish of the soldier,
Made his child to live again.
My God takes the broken and makes them whole.
My God, mocked and beaten,
Crushed and bleeding,
Yet crying, “Father God, forgive.”
My God became broken to make me whole.
My God on the third day, in the morning,
Broke the shackles of the grave.
My God took the broken and made them whole.
My God knows my failures,
He speaks forgiveness,
He gives me strength to try again.
My God takes the broken and makes them whole.
