  • I'm just a broken instrument in the hands of the Greatest
    So if the notes are off it's 'cause I ain't nothin' to play with
    And you can fault me, but ain't we all off key
    Majorin' in the minors like there ain't no errors behind us
    Somehow he still makes these melodies with my felonies
    I ain't buyin' nothin' they sellin' me what you tellin' me
    Broken pieces actin' like we ain't cracked
    Man we all messed up and cain't no one escape that
    We some broken people
    Came from broken homes
    Broken hearts inside of a broken soul
    Alcoholics, the addicts
    English, African, Arabs
    Ain't no riches to fix it
    You still broke when you have it
    If you ain't breakin' bad and you still chasin' the habit
    It ain't no wonderland so we still chasing the rabbit
    Ain't a soul on the planet
    That's better than another
    And we all need grace in the face of each other

    All the pieces on the ground
    I shattered all the dreams I thought I found
    Can you put me back together?
    I need your grace for my flaws
    God I'm broken in this mess I've made
    I need you to restore me

    From Heaven we all small
    Can't nobody buy tickets
    You better have will call
    That reaper he will call
    They hurt just like me
    Work just like me
    Lust of the flesh the pride of life they flirt with like me
    Regardless of our money we all broke together
    And if we don't swallow our pride we gon choke together
    Tryna hold onto our lives with these clumsy hands
    Fell off the wall of purity
    Doing that Humpty dance
    Forget the king's horses
    Forget the king's men
    The King is coming to put us back together again
    Been fighting since my daddy left
    Fighting for approval
    Think I don't know tryna get this world to love me is futile
    We Tyler Durden won't be the burden of being less
    Than what we were made to be like being what they suggest
    We are outsiders, outliers
    Out cry is loud, the meek inherit the earth
    And God opposes the proud

    All the pieces on the ground
    I shattered all the dreams I thought I found
    Can you put me back together?
    I need your grace for my flaws
    God I'm broken in this mess I've made
    I need you to restore me

    Your presence in me
    Is all the strength that I need
    Your presence in me
    Is all the strength that I need
    And I'll always be home
    And I'll always be home

    All the pieces on the ground
    I shattered all the dreams I thought I found
    Can you put me back together?
    I need your grace for my flaws
    God I'm broken in this mess I've made
    I need you to restore me

    You never left me
    You never ran off
    You never gave up

    You never left me
    You never ran off
    You never gave up

    You never left me
    You never ran off
    You never gave up Writer/s: Chris Mackey, Cody Carnes, Joseph Ryan Prielozny, Kari Jobe, Latasha Williams, Le Crae Devaughn Moore
