An original hymn about how Christ was broken for us. Text by Kathryn W. Hales below.  Watch on YouTube: Broken

His broken body on the tree,

Wounded, stripped for all to see,

From chains of sin I’m now set free.

Bruised and broken, Lord for me;

A miracle broke the sealed tomb,

Walls no barrier to the Upper Room

Where with apostles He did commune,

Overcoming death and gloom

 My wounded heart now is healed,

Changed to one that truly feels;

Through His covenants I am sealed

If my will I meekly yield.

My broken heart now mended right

By threads of holy words of Light,

Is now humbled and contrite

As I keep Him in my sight.

Broken bread upon the trays

Blessed by those who kneel and pray,

Tied to Him I’ll always stay

And remember Him all my days.

There’s nothing broken He can’t mend;

He’ll forever be my Friend,

Now made whole, I humbly bend,

Enduring gratefully to the end.
