When I Am Broken

When I am broken and quiet inside Tears are the prayers I cannot hide You sit beside me in my despair Whispering mercy into the air

Comforter, I feel you near

In the silence dry my tears Faithful one, you never leave Even sorrow starts to breathe

You know the story my pain would tell You walk through darkness, you know it well Your wounded hands still reach to mend You turn my mourning into rest again

Comforter, I feel you need

In the silence dry my tears Faithful one, you never leave Even sorrow starts to breathe

You heal the heart, you bind the seam You bring the dawn inside the dream Every sigh becomes a song Where compassion makes me strong

Comforter, I feel you near In the silence dry my tears Faithful one you’ll never leave Even sorrow learns to breathe
