Analysis of BROKEN, SPOKEN
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
Once I said I'd love You
Till time itself would end
You told me that wasn't true
I fell time and time again
Foolish vow, repeatedly broken
Almost as soon as it was spoken
I saw Your face in the fire
Torn for my many sinful falls
So far I've fallen, for my desire
Yet You've broken all my walls
I see You even as I'm broken
Truth's a promise You've spoken
You asked me today, if I loved You
And my heart fell inside my chest
I said ,Lord You know I do
Redeemed, by Your Grace I'm blessed
For my sins Lord, You were broken
Made Whole by the Words You've spoken
AMEN
