Oh Lord of the broken heart


Oh Lord of the broken heart
Oh Lord of the heavy soul.
Oh Lord you come to me
Oh Lord you come to all.
Oh Lord of the lonely life,
Oh Lord of the lost and cast down.
Oh Lord you come to me
Oh Lord you come to all.

Oh Lord of the suffering ones
Oh Lord of the helpless child.
Oh Lord you come to me
Oh Lord you come to all.
Oh Lord of the silent tears
Oh Lord of the desperate fears.
Oh Lord you come to me
Oh Lord you come to all.

Your grace, your grace
Forgiveness and love,
Grace and mercy found.
Your love, your love
Your peace and your hope,
Grace and mercy found.

Oh Lord of the shattered dreams
Oh Lord of the guilty plea
Oh Lord you come to me
Oh Lord you come to all.
Oh Lord of such perfect love
Unconditional and free
Oh Lord you come to me
Oh Lord you come to all.

It's there you cry forgiveness


It’s there you cry forgiveness

In the desert sand,

In the wilderness,

When I am scared,

And so alone,

With nothing left to offer

And nothing left to pray

In the darkest night when I am scarred

And wounded by this life.


In the midnight hour,

The valley deep and dark

My soul cries out

For love’s release,

It’s there you cry forgive me

For all I’ve said and done

In the darkest hour when I am scarred

And wounded by this life.


It’s there you cry forgiveness

And your mercy covers me

It’s there I find your hope and your strength

It’s there you set me free.

It’s there you cry forgiveness

It’s there I find your grace

It’s there I find acceptance and love

It’s there I find your peace

It’s there I see your face



In the stormy seas

Breaking over me

So overwhelmed

And overcome

I'm stricken by my weakness

My strength deserting me

In the darkest hour when I am scarred

And wounded by this life


It’s there you cry forgiveness

And your mercy covers me

It’s there I find your hope and your strength

It’s there you set me free.

It’s there you cry forgiveness

It’s there I find your grace

It’s there I find acceptance and love

It’s there I find your peace

It’s there I see your face
