Broken

Lord, I'm broken

falling apart

deteriorating

but not from neglect

not from idle years

I'm used up from

years of service

wanting to rest

to let someone else do it

 

but I can't

I'm not wired that way

if there's a soul in need

a heart that's hurting

then I must reach out

because that's just what you would do

 

so use me up, Lord

let me be your hand extended

show your love through me

for there will be plenty of time

for rest later...

when I'm forever with you

in Heaven
