The King of Brokenness

I've known pain and loneliness.
I've cried frustration's tears.
I've been broken, rejected by friends.
I've been imprisoned by fears.
 
But He's not afraid of my weaknesses.
He's not upset by my tears.
He embraces my brokenness
and understands my fears.
 
He was broken and bruised and left all alone.
He cried powerful tears -
Despised and rejected, considered a fraud,
crucified after thirty-three short years
 
He was God's plan
to redeem fallen man.
Jesus embraced it all --
the King of Brokenness.
 
He's the Hero who loosed my chains,
my Friend when I am afraid,
the Merchant who purchased my sin,
the Hand who holds my days.
 
He's the Shadow who carries me,
the Hope of a brand new start,
the Redeemer of all my weaknesses,
the Joy in my heart.
 
He's the Rock who shelters my soul,
the Physician who makes me whole.
He's the Power behind everything,
the Reason I sing.
 
He was God's plan
to redeem fallen man.
Jesus embraced it all,
lovingly embraced it all
 
for me,
for you,
for us all.
He's the King of Brokenness.
