Broken*

I am a broken man,
Yet I am who You create me to be.

I am broken because I have failed You.
I am broken because of my afflictions.
I am broken because You want my attention.
I am broken because I live in a broken world.

Though I am broken, I am whole!
Held together by Your loving hands.
The hands of those You have brought around me.
Your love will not fail me.

Remind me of who I am.
Remind me to whom I belong.
Remind me of why I am.
Remind me of who I am becoming.

LORD, walk beside me this day.
Yahweh, let me be present to You.
Abba Father, let me be whole in my brokenness.
Living Presence, let me be surrendered to You.

I am a broken man,
Yet I am who you created me to be.
