The Broken Beautiful

Over the past couple days, I have become addicted to Ellie Holcomb's "The Broken Beautiful".  It's just so amazing that God can take our scarred, bruised up selves, and forgive us, and cleanse us in his name.  As Christians, we become his paint brushes. He uses us to paint beauty in the world and to get closer to restoring his masterpiece.  I have provided the lyrics below.

I know that I don't bring a lot to the table
Just little pieces of a broken heart
There's days I wonder if You'll still be faithful
Hold me together when I fall apart?
Would You remind me now of who You are?

That Your love will never change,
that there's healing in your name
That You can take broken things,
and make them beautiful
You took my shame
And You walked out of the grave
So Your love can take broken things
and make them beautiful

I'm better off when I begin to remember
How You have met me in my deepest pain
So give me glimpses now of how You have covered
All of my heart ache, oh with all Your grace
Remind me now that You can make a way

You say that You'll turn my weeping into dancing
Remove my sadness & cover me with joy
You say your scars are the evidence of healing
That You can make the broken beautiful

You make us beautiful, oh oh
You make us beautiful
