BROKEN PLACES

                 BROKEN PLACES                           

The man gently knelt,
His head bowed low,
He once stood tall,
now nowhere else to go.

He cried out in pain,
Teach me Lord to pray;
How in the world
Did my life get this way?

What would he do?
Where would he go?
Who’s going to help?
How will he know?

He’d worked so very hard
At being completely in control,
Now almost broken he recognized
He’d lost sight of THE GOAL.

His heart cracked a little
And his pride trickled out
Now healing could begin
He heard the angel shout.

Do not be afraid
He heard the angel say
The One who really loves you
Is here this very day.

He wants your full devotion
In all your hopes and dreams
Do not depend on earthly men,
They are filled with selfish schemes.

Soon the man discovered
The Master has a plan
All he had to do was trust,
Stop trying to understand.

The man began to have new hope
A gift he knew from above
At this broken place in his life,
He experienced the depths of his Fathers love.

In his pain and suffering
The other joy he found
The face of Jesus smiling
And the sharing of his crown.

PSALM 51:17 "MY SACRIFICE, O GOD, IS A BROKEN SPIRIT;

A BROKEN AND CONTRITE HEART YOU, GOD, WILL NOT DESPISE".

ISAIAH 57;15  "FOR THIS IS WHAT THE HIGH AND EXALTED ONE SAYS-

HE WHO LIVES FOREVER, WHOSE NAME IS HOLY: "I LIVE IN A HIGH

AND HOLY PLACE, BUT ALSO WITH THE ONE WHO IS CONTRITE AND LOWLY

IN SPIRIT, TO REVIVE THE SPIRIT OF THE LOWLY AND TO REVIVE

THE HEART OF THE CONTRITE".
