A Home From a Broken Heart

Verse 1:
The morning you arrived, 
I looked into your eyes, and I swear,
I’ve never been so scared to death. 
I hope I don’t mess this up, 
but what if I’m not enough? 
A thought that haunted me since the day he left. 
I remember sitting on the steps, 
my backpack in my hand. 
For seven years, every Friday was the same. 
The hours passed me by, 
trying not to cry, 
outside the school, waiting for a ride that never came. 

Now I’m leading a family with a map I was never shown.  
Trying not to stumble down a path I walked alone. 

Chorus:
Oh Lord, I need your hand to help me give a love I’ve never seen. 
I need your wisdom and patience to guide me down this journey that i must lead.
In my weakness, make me strong
Teach me what’s right when all I know is wrong
I can’t do this on my own, I don’t know where to start 
Oh God, help me build a home from this broken heart. 

Verse 2:
All I wanted was my dad, 
but the only thing I had 
was an empty seat at birthdays, 
a phone that never rang. 
Now with a family of my own, 
I find I’m learning as I go.
Taking it step-by-step 
and learning day by day.
I’ll keep working to be what they need. 
All the pain, all the brokenness, it ends with me. 

Chorus:
Oh Lord, I need your hand to help me give a love I’ve never seen. 
I need your wisdom and patience to guide me down this journey that i must lead.
In my weakness, make me strong
Teach me what’s right when all I know is wrong
I can’t do this on my own, I don’t know where to start 
Oh God, help me build a home from this broken heart. 

Bridge:
I will be the generation that breaks these chains.
I renounce the hurt, the pain, the doubt in Jesus name!
Because on Calvary, he paid the price I could not afford.
For me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Chorus:
Oh Lord, I need your hand to help me give a love I’ve never seen. 
I need your wisdom and patience to guide me down this journey that i must lead.
In my weakness, make me strong
Teach me what’s right when all I know is wrong
I can’t do this on my own, I don’t know where to start 
Your word leads and guide me when everything falls apart
Oh God, help me build a home from this broken heart.
