Broken For Your Glory

Verse 1
I brought You the pieces of what I once held tight,
Dreams I was certain were shining with Your light.
But in Your mercy You gently showed my heart,
The vessel You can fill must first be torn apart.
I fought the breaking, I feared the fall,
But grace was waiting beyond it all.
Now I see what You were doing in me —
Shaping the man I was meant to be.
Pre-Chorus
You don’t waste the tears we cry,
You don’t leave the wounded side.
Chorus
Broken hearts become Your instruments,
Shattered pride makes room for grace.
When I lay my strength before You,
You rebuild a stronger place.
What I thought would end my story
Was the start of something new —
For the ones You use the greatest
Are the ones You’ve broken through.
Verse 2
I carried my failures like stones in my hands,
Ashamed of the places I didn’t stand.
But You saw the beauty beneath the dust,
A heart being softened to learn how to trust.
Through every valley, every scar,
You were closer than I knew You are.
The cracks in my soul let Your light shine through,
Every weakness pointing to You.
Pre-Chorus
You don’t waste the wounds we bear,
You meet us in the breaking there.
Chorus
Broken hearts become Your instruments,
Shattered pride makes room for grace.
When I lay my strength before You,
You rebuild a stronger place.
What I thought would end my story
Was the start of something new —
For the ones You use the greatest
Are the ones You’ve broken through.
Bridge (Worship Declaration)
Break my pride if it draws me near,
Break my plans if Your voice is clear.
Take these pieces, make them whole,
Shape Your purpose in my soul.
If the path to being useful
Leads me through surrender’s door,
Then take my life completely —
I am Yours forevermore.
Final Chorus (Lift)
Broken hearts become Your instruments,
Humble lives reflect Your face.
Every fracture tells a story
Of redemption and of grace.
Now I know the deepest power
Flows from hearts made pure and true —
For the ones You use the greatest
Are the ones You’ve broken through.
Outro (Soft Prayer)
Take the pieces…
Take the pain…
Let my brokenness
Bring glory to Your name.
