YOU BROKE THROUGH
By John Cliver
Sitting on the edge of my seat, I wonder what I'm going to do.
I'm scared and I'm worried and this fear is nothing new.
It seems that everything I touch goes bad or falls apart.
The only thing worse than my shattered dreams
is the aching of my heart.
But you broke through the confusion of my life;
you broke through the anger and the strife;
you broke through with your love and your grace
And your Holy Spirit shows me the love that's in your face
You broke through.
I've tried so hard to do the things I know you want me to;
And every time I failed my hatred for myself just grew.
The loneliness and alienation deep within me stayed;
I failed at every thought I thought and every prayer I prayed.
But you broke through the confusion of my life;
you broke through the anger and the strife;
you broke through with your love and your grace
And your Holy Spirit shows me the love that's in your face
You broke through.
Your love for me is boundless, every morning it's made new;
your grace abounds still more and more, and your faithfulness is true.
You saved me from myself and from my brokenness and shame;
And all I can do all day is praise your blessed, holy Name.
You broke through the confusion of my life;
you broke through the anger and the strife;
you broke through with your love and your grace
And your Holy Spirit shows me the love that's in your face
You broke through.

Very touching...I can relate and, hearing some of what God has done in your life, I can imagine the scene. I think it has the makings of a song.
