Then Let Me Break

If the stuff of life is born

Of the things that make me ache

Then, Dear God,

Let me break

If tears are what's required

To make my roots go deep,

Then, Dear God,

Let me weep

If a broken heart is one

Of the promises you make,

Then, My Lord,

Let me break

If tears water the soil

Of the harvest that we'll reap,

Then, My Lord,

Let me weep.

If the King of Glory

Was broken for my sake

Then, My Jesus,

Let me break

If scars are of the only thing

From earth that we can keep,

Then, My Jesus,

Let me weep
