Trust After Broken
[Intro – Spoken Scripture, smooth male baritone over soft piano, warm sax underneath]
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds……Psalm 147:3”
[no sparse verse]
[no quiet intro]
[no acapella]
(Full Band enters smoothly with a rich jazz chord progression: Dm9 - G13 - Cmaj7)
[Horn Interlude: Smooth Jazzy Licks]
(Saxophone & Brass Fills trading with Organ Stabs)
(Bass Groove: Deep, walking bassline locks in with a slow)
[Verse 1 – Smooth male baritone lead, gospel jazz groove, deep bassline, soft drums, rhythm guitar riffs, sax fills]
I gave my heart and watched it break,
Held onto things You had to take.
I smiled outside, but deep within,
I wondered if I’d trust again.
But in the pieces of my pain,
You showed me You were still the same.
When everything I knew was gone,
Your faithful hands kept holding on.
[Pre-Chorus – Male lead, horns begin building, choir softly answering]
I may have scars from where I’ve been,
But scars don’t mean my story ends.
You healed the places no one knew,
And taught my heart to trust in You.
[Chorus – Big harmonizing gospel choir, strong bassline and drums, full horn section, sax fills]
I can trust after broken,
I can believe again.
You took the pieces of my heart
And held them in Your hands.
What tried to steal my faith away
Could never change Your love.
I can trust after broken,
‘Cause I still trust the God above!
[Verse 2 – Smooth male baritone, walking bass, rhythm guitar riffs, jazzy piano, sax answering vocal lines]
I thought the breaking made me weak,
Till through my tears I heard You speak.
“You’re not forgotten, I’m still near,
Give Me your hurt, give Me your fear.”
Now every crack reminds my soul,
You’re still the One who makes me whole.
I don’t need answers to believe,
I trust the hands that carried me.
[Pre-Chorus – Male lead with choir responses, horns rising]
I may not know what comes around,
But I know where my hope is found.
Yesterday won’t rule what I do,
I’m moving forward trusting You.
[Chorus – Full choir, big horns, powerful drums, strong bassline]
I can trust after broken,
I can believe again.
You took the pieces of my heart
And held them in Your hands.
What tried to steal my faith away
Could never change Your love.
I can trust after broken,
‘Cause I still trust the God above!
[Rap – Soulful male gospel rap, bass and drums forward, funky rhythm guitar, horn punches]
Broken didn’t bury me, it brought me to my knees,
Found out in the breaking You were everything I need.
Had some doors close, had some people walk away,
But Your mercy met me every single day.
[Outro – Male baritone ad-libs with choir, sax fills, horns sustaining]
Lead: Broken, but I’m trusting…
Choir: Still trusting!
Lead: Wounded, but I’m trusting…
Choir: Still trusting!
Lead: He healed my heart…
Choir: He healed my heart!
Lead: And I can trust again…
All: Trust after broken!
