a broken melody

I'm sorry, Lord
I won't do it again

in my guilt i wallow
in my shame i hide

for down in my heart
i know i'll turn back

like Adam and Eve in the garden
i hide in my dirtiness

You call out my name
You desire to love me

yet i continue to hide
ashamed and disgusted at my own sin

rather than walking out in faith
to receive Your love and blessing

i sit in my sin
and ask for a bigger portion size

for like a song on repeat
this broken melody plays

a broken song i sing
knowing no harmony

change my appetite, Lord
renew this spirit

for if I return, Lord
You promise You'll renew me

but can You make a new song, Lord?
can you fix this broken melody?

if it is so, Lord
if Your promises are true

then take this sacrifice
take this life

use it for Your glory
and make me a beautiful song


Inspired by Jeremiah 15:19 and Maverick City Music's song, ‘Broken Melodies'
