I knew right where to find you
I've hidden here many times before
I recognize your mask
I've worn it too
I'm not here to point a finger
I'm not here to change your mind
Just wanna sit here for a while
And talk to you
Have you ever felt thrown away
Used up and left behind
Like your heart was born to break
And you've given up the fight
Well I am here to say
He can take what's beaten down
To make something beautiful
Even the song of a broken heart
Song of a broken heart
You've got your walls
You've got your reasons
You're just fine with not believing
And I'm a broken record playing the same old line
And you can't hide behind your questions
It may serve you for a time
But you can't hide a broken heart
Behind a smile
Have you ever felt thrown away
Used up and left behind
Like your heart was born to break
And you've given up the fight
Well I am here to say
He can take what's beaten down
To make something beautiful
Even the song of a broken heart
Song of a broken heart
My Jesus was the God-man
He came with healing in His hands
The world was ready for His gifts
But not His plans
To hurt He was no stranger
Betrayed by those He trusted most
Left to face His darkest night alone
He was thrown away
Used up and left behind
'Cause He was born to break
He stood up to the fight
For a world that turned away
He was bruised and beaten down
To make something beautiful
He knows the song of a broken heart
Song of a broken heart
The song of a broken heart
The song of a broken heart
Jesus
Sing me a new song
Come living water
Come flow through me
And I will
Sing of Your glory
And I'll tell my story
Of how you set me free
