Broken

I haven't had a lot of myself to share over the last couple of weeks... or at least not a lot I'm willing to share. Today I'm going to let Lifehouse speak for me.

"Broken"

The broken clock is a comfort,
it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting
though i still have my doubts
I am damaged at best,
like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you

The broken locks were a warning
you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded,
I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection
inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose,
they're still looking for life

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
with a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on,
I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm hangin' on another day
Just to see what you throw my way
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be OK

The broken lights on the freeway
left me here alone
I may have lost my way now,
haven't forgotten my way home

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
with a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on,
I'm barely holdin' on to you


I'm falling apart. There doesn't seem to be a lot more to say than that. I wish I could be better at holding on... but instead I'm just oh-so-good at throwing my hands in the air and giving up. Thank God He holds on to me even when I can't - or won't - hold on to Him.

I can feel your pain in this post. I'm sorry it's so tough. Praying that God keeps holding on to you. He will.

I hopped over here from Lysa's blog...

I have prayed for you, Bethany. I feel compelled to pray for someone whose fight I seem to share. I have my broken days, too.

Hi there Bethany,
I too came over from Lysa's blog and even commented on hers too. I know without a doubt that I was supposed to pray for you. Even though I don't know you or anything you are going through or have been through..HE does. He will not let go. Embrace that and know that HE will surround around you HIS people to lift you up and I pray that you will feel that. You have a beautiful family. God Bless You.

In HIS Love,
April
