Broken Chord

My heart alone is a instrument in God's temple
Playing songs of worship for hours and hours
But then the chord breaks and music cannot be played
Have to get the chord fixed, but too sad to fix it right now

That one broken chord; curled and twisted
Can I ever play music right now?
The tragedies of this world makes it seem impossible to play
Then nothing but tears roll down for there is no songs playing

The broken chord that used to play many songs
The broken chord that used to play songs of worship for hours and hours
My heart broken and nothing but songs of tragedy plays
Songs of brief tragedy plays in the haunting silence
Tears roll down my eyes and wonder if I will ever play songs again

But in the grace and love of my God
In all the things He can do
He takes the broken chord and just smiles at it
There's nothing He cannot do

The chord maybe plucked and no more music can be played
But the Lord himself plays His songs on a broken chord
Song of worship reenters my heart from a broken chord
My heart made new and music reenters my temple of God

Broken chord of the world
Friends come and go and pain seems endless
Broken chord of the world
Even a broken chord can be playable before the Lord

Fill my heart with worship Lord
Even You can play wondrous songs with a broken chord
Filling my heart with life day by day even when I sleep
Playing Your songs of glory with a broken chord

Lord, You fill my heart with wonder and joy
Even with broken chords, You are still in my heart
Friends come and go and pain makes my body ache
But in the end Lord I will always have You

Broken chord
Broken chord
You may play sad songs for a little while
But the Lord himself will forever play His songs with a broken chord

Amen
