Broken and Contrite
Aryn Michelle 2013
I’ve taken my seat every week, head bowed, arms lifted up
chapter and verse memorized ‘cause I was raised right
but you know that is not enough
if I claim to be changed by your story,
I just can’t keep staying the same
you do not delight, woah, in shallow and empty sacrifice
broken and contrite, woah, the heart You will not despise
You do not take joy, woah, in offerings that don’t cost me much
by Your unfailing love, make me broken and contrite
I’m bold and I’m brave, I’m speaking Your name if no one else disagrees
I’m happy to give as long as I’m living with comfort and with ease
if Your mercies are new every morning
by Your grace, change me today
you do not delight, woah, in shallow and empty sacrifice
broken and contrite, woah, the heart You will not despise
You do not take joy, woah, in offerings that don’t cost me much
by Your unfailing love, make me broken and contrite
woah, I’m growing when I’m broken
woah, there’s never been a better time
you do not delight, woah, in shallow and empty sacrifice
broken and contrite, woah, the heart You will not despise
You do not take joy, woah, in offerings that don’t cost me much
by Your unfailing love, make me broken and contrite
