How many times can one heart break?
It was never supposed to be this way.
You look in the mirror, but there you find,
Someone you never thought you’d be.
Oh, but I still recognize,
The one I love,
In your tear stained eyes.
You see your worst mistake,
But I see the price I paid.
But I see the price I paid.
You see the scars from where you fell,
But I see the stories they will tell.
But I see the stories they will tell.
You see worthless,
I see priceless.
You see pain,
You see pain,
I see purpose.
You see unworthy, undeserving,
But I see you through eyes of mercy.
I’m making all things new!
And I will make a miracle in you.
And I will make a miracle in you.
When you see broken beyond repair,
I see healing beyond belief.
When you see too far gone,
I see one step away from home.
When you see nothing but damaged goods,
I see something in the making.
I see something in the making.
I’m not finished yet.
When you see wounded, I see mended.
