To be unbroken
To be unbroken

Fallen to pieces (I am undone)
The things you said (Manipulation)
I trusted you like a fool
While you made all the rules
So you searched me out
And you took me down

CHORUS
To be unbroken
What would that be?
If words that were spoken had not shattered me
If I was unbroken
I'd never know the beauty of hope
And how far grace will go

To be unbroken
To be unbroken

The things you've found (To use against me)
Have lost their sound (Where mercy and truth meet)
I fell to the Father's feet
His words washed all over me
And all the scars you made
Watch them fade away

CHORUS

I've tasted bitter, tasted sweet
Embraced the victory and some defeat
I've tasted bitter, tasted sweet
I found the beauty in the place they meet

CHORUS (2x)

How beautiful hope can be
How far grace will go... (repeat 2x)



Behind the Song:
"Sometimes you have to experience the depths of sorrow to recognize and appreciate the true fullness of joy. The Bible says in Eccl 1:18, "For in much wisdom is much grief, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow." To truly be able to pray and talk and relate to one another on an everyday basis, we have to first endure the trials and heartaches that shadow that everyday life. It's a good thing to be a broken person! The depth of compassion, understanding and steadiness that are gained through trials is something I wouldn't trade for one tear that has ever fallen from my eyes. It's the most amazing growth experience to find out for yourself how far the arm of grace can truly extend." - Alisa (ZOEgirl)
