A Prayer For The Broken Hearted

A Prayer For The Broken Hearted
Words by Chelsey Scott (based on a prayer from “The Valley Of Vision”) Music by Chelsey Scott © 2006 Petit Bateau Music (ASCAP)

"No day in my life has past, that hasn't proved me guilty
Prayers are uttered too fast, from a heart that’s cold and empty.

Chorus: Oh Blessed Jesus, May we find a covert in thy wounds

Though our sins, they rise to meet us, how they fall next to the merits of you
All in me calls for this, it calls for my rejection
This heavy unrighteousness, oh is there no protection?

My best services are rags, my best deeds are filthy;

Grant me hear thy shoring voice, that in thy wounds is pardon
Grant me see thy willing choice to make my hard heart softened

Keep the broken-hearted sure, clinging to thy cross, our cure;"

Folk I hope this has been a blessing to you as it has to me. May we always look to Christ and the cross, and not on our righteousness which is but filthy rags. This song is from Indelible Grace Music, if you would like to listen to this and other great music please visit www.igracemusic.com or purchase their music in the itunes store. God bless.

Jordan, that is a great song. The words are so true and right. Have you heard "Children of the Living God" by Fernando Ortega? Don't know if he wrote it or not, but it's another good one. :-)

I haven't heard that song, but I will find it and give it a listen. Fernando Ortega has some great song, I love "Sing to Jesus" and "Our Great God". I am glad you liked the song, I have never heard a song by Indelible Grace, that I didn't like or one that had poor lyrics and such. Cheers! :)
