(From the album Against the Grain)
based on Psalm 51
G Em C D C D7 G
(G) Em
As I stand before you, I see who I am:
C D C D7 G
A man who needs to confess his pride and foolishness.
Em
Against you only I have sinned.
C D C D7 G
I've done what's evil in your sight and my heart is crumbling.
(G) Em
And I'm broken. Broken.
C D C D7 G
To see myself as I really am, a weak, broken man.
(G)
Won't you hear my cry, God?
Em
See the state I'm in.
C D
I know my transgressions are before me,
C D7 G
My righteousness is rags.
(G) Em
My sacrifice to you is this broken heart.
C D C D7 G
It's all I have, it's all I can give, and it won't go very far...
(G) Em
'Cause it's broken. Broken.
C D
Please heal this broken heart today.
C D7 G
Don't turn it away because it's...broken!
(G) Em C D C D7 G (short musical break)
(G)
Have mercy on me, God.
Em
Do I stand condemned?
C D
Let me know the joy and thanksgiving,
C D7 G
God, take away my sin.
(G)
I wanna know what it is, God,
Em
To have that faith,
C D
To keep on runnin', keep on going,
C D7 G
Put that strength in me.
(G) Em
Cause I'm broken. Broken.
C D C D7 G
To see myself as I really am, a weak, broken man.
(G) Em
And I'm broken. Broken.
C D
Please heal this broken heart today,
C D7 G
Don't turn it away because it's...broken.
Em C
Broken, broken,
D C D7 G
Oh, yes, I'm broken.
(G)
I stand before you now...
