Verse 1
In the middle of the quiet night
When the shadows feel too heavy to bear
I am looking for a glimpse of light
Wondering if You are really there
Every breath feels like a heavy stone
And the silence is a deafening sound
Lying here and feeling all alone
With my defenses falling to the ground
Pre-Chorus
But a rhythm starts to stir inside my chest
A whisper telling me that I can rest
You step right into the dust and the pain
And break the chain
Chorus
'Cause You are close to the brokenhearted
You are near when the tears run dry
When the world that I knew has departed
You’re the listener to my quiet cry
Every piece of a spirit that's crushed and torn
You lift it up, You make it new
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
My rescue comes from You
(Yeah, it comes from You)
Verse 2
It's so easy to believe the lie
That I'm a hidden face inside the crowd
But You count every tear I cry
And Your mercy speaks when doubts are loud
You don't walk away when things get frail
You don't turn around when I am weak
Your faithfulness will still prevail
In the exact moment that I cannot speak
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, a rhythm starts to stir inside my chest
A whisper telling me that I can rest
You step right into the dust and the pain
And break the chain
Chorus
'Cause You are close to the brokenhearted
You are near when the tears run dry
When the world that I knew has departed
You’re the listener to my quiet cry
Every piece of a spirit that's crushed and torn
You lift it up, You make it new
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
My rescue comes from You
Bridge
You’re not watching from a distance
You are holding onto me
In the fracture, in the failure
You’re the strength I cannot see
You save the crushed in spirit
You pierce the dark with light
Your love is my insistence
That I’ll make it through the night
Drop / Post-Bridge (Upbeat Pop Build)
You save, You save the crushed in spirit
I feel You near, I feel You near me now
You save, You save the crushed in spirit
You're turning it around!
Chorus
'Cause You are close to the brokenhearted
You are near when the tears run dry
When the world that I knew has departed
You’re the listener to my quiet cry
Every piece of a spirit that's crushed and torn
You lift it up, You make it new
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
My rescue comes from You
Outro
Right here in the wreckage
You are close to me
Every broken piece
In Your hands, healed and free
The Lord is close...
Yeah, You save the crushed in spirit.
(Mmm, You're close to me)
