Broken Nations

[Verse 1]
This is such a maze we’re passing through
Danger on the every side
Let the petty riff raff shut our ears
And add to the great divide – sometimes

[Verse 2]
I can feel the daily gravity
Pulling toward the easy road
Where whatever gets me maddening
I’ll feel free to just let go

[Chorus]
But you are over these broken nations
Though we’re avoiding the conversations
Help us to break through, help us to feel it
That we would reach in, just to relieve it

[Verse 3]
We’ve got the ghost, go reconcile
We can turn the night to day
Only getting better at welcoming
We’re too good at the turn away – ok

[Verse 4]
Why do we watch the widow weep?
And send back the prodigal son?
Church, has our action atrophied?
Or am I the only one?

[Pre-Chorus]
Lord reveal your heart to your people
Until we stop the stabbing with your steeple

[Chorus]
But you are over these broken nations
Though we’re avoiding the conversations
Help us to break through, help us to feel it
That we would reach in, just to relieve it

[Chorus]
But you are over these broken nations
Though we’re avoiding the conversations
Help us to break through, help us to feel it
That we would reach in, just to relieve it
