Broken Heart

What happens when the words gets lost inside

When the silent tears keep falling and thoughts run dry

If I sit and hold a siddur and it's the best that I can do

If don't have the words can I still try to talk to You

I've been trying since the day I learned to read

But some days I just can't ask for what I need

And what if I'm afraid that You're not proud of what You see

If I don't have the words, can I still feel You talk to me

Maybe all You want from me is a broken heart

Maybe nothing's as complete as a broken heart

You're listening when I can't find the words

My pleas are not unseen and my voice not unheard

In the little prayer that flows from my broken heart

Can You somehow draw me close when I feel so far

Surely You who shapes my story part by part

Can hear a song that's whole from a broken heart

♪

I'm learning that there's no one time or place

And that nobody's too small to feel Your embrace

And I am learning that You wait to hear my voice

To You it's sweet

I close my eyes and connect as I repeat

Maybe all You want from me is a broken heart

Maybe nothing's as complete as a broken heart

You're listening when I can't find the words

My pleas are not unseen and my voice not unheard

In the little prayer that flows from my broken heart

You will somehow draw me close when I feel so far

Surely You who shapes my story part by part

You can hear a song that's whole from a broken heart
