Broken

On a whim, I purchased Steven Curtis Chapman's new CD, "This Moment" (mainly for song, "Cinderella" - which is SO sweet). Well, I was blown away by the second track on the CD. Below are the lyrics. Let them sink in. And that last line of the song... well, that's the best... that's the hope!

Broken
by Steven Curtis Chapman

I'm just a well dressed wreck
I'm just a made up mess
Working hard trying to keep everybody impressed
All the while I'm falling apart on the inside

I look around to see
Is anyone like me?
First glance tells me I'm all alone in the sea
Then I look again a little deeper

And we're all in the same boat
We all just need to know

We're all broken
We're all broken
And we all need a Savior
Broken
We're all broken
And we all need a Savior

'Cause we're all broken

This is a fool's parade
The way we masquerade
Trying to make everybody think it's all okay
When the truth is we're all living a story

What if we all got brave?
Enough to take away
All we're hiding behind even just for a day
And let the scars show even a little

But I know the honesty
Will show us all to be

Broken
We're all broken
And we all need a Savior
Broken
We're all broken
And we all need a Savior

We don't have to pretend about it
We don't have to keep acting like we're all okay
If we lift our eyes to the cross
We'll see the reality

That we're all... broken
And we all have a Savior
Broken
We're all broken
And we all need a Savior
Broken
We're all broken
And we all need a Savior
We all have a Savior
We all need Jesus

So, I looked in the liner notes, and SCC had some scripture associated with this song. Here they are (in NIV):

Isaiah 53:5-6
2 Corinthians 12:9
Romans 3:23-24
1 Peter 5:5


All for now,
