Broken People

Sometimes I wish You didn't
Use broken people
All my heroes fall
Like dust to the ground
I look around and see
A world of crooked steeples
And I wonder why You don't just
Tear them all down
But if You did who'd be left standing?
It's only grace we're standing on

When I see broken
You see something beautiful
When I see failure You can see what's possible
In every person You still see potential
Thank God You do 'cause that's how You see me too

How long oh Lord You gonna
Leave us broken people?
I thought You came to make
These old things new
Can anyone get past the eye of that needle?
I guess we all need help here
Just getting through

When I see broken
You see something beautiful
When I see failure You can see what's possible
In every person You still see potential
Thank God You do 'cause that's how You see me too

We are the hands and feet of Jesus
Your body, broken, bent, and bruised
But here we are Your wounded healers
Thank God Your hands and feet are wounded too

When I see broken
You see something beautiful
When I see failure You can see what's possible
In every person You still see potential
When I see broken
You see something beautiful
When I see failure You can see what's possible
In every person You still see potential
Thank God You do 'cause that's how You see me too
That's how You see me too
