Broken Together

Last week, Pam and I had the privilege of attending a Memorial Service for a dear brother in Christ, Joe Lee, who had a wonderful marriage and love relationship with his wife, Jane, for 38 years.  During the memorial the song called, Broken Together, recorded by Casting Crowns written by Bernie Herms, John Mark, and Mark Hall, was played. I would suggest that you locate the song with lyrics on You Tube or whatever and listen together with your spouse.  If you are willing to be “broken together” daily,God will heal and grow your marriage.  Psalm 147:3 states it this way, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”  Below are the lyrics:

What do you think about when you look at me?
I know we’re not the fairytale you dreamed we’d be
You wore the veil, you walked the aisle, you took my hand
And we dove into a mystery

How I wish we could go back to simpler times
Before all our scars and all our secrets were in the light
Now on this hallowed ground, we’ve drawn the battle lines
Will we make it through the night?

It’s going to take much more than promises this time
Only God can change our minds

Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete
Could we just be broken together?
If you can bring your shattered dreams and I’ll bring mine
Could healing still be spoken and save us?
The only way we’ll last forever is broken together

How it must have been so lonely by my side
We were building kingdoms
And chasing dreams and left love behind
I’m praying God will help our broken hearts align
And we won’t give up the fight

It’s going to take much more than promises this time
Only God can change our minds

Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete
Could we just be broken together?
If you can bring your shattered dreams, and I’ll bring mine
Could healing still be spoken and save us?
The only way we’ll last forever is broken together

Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete
Could we just be broken together?
If you can bring your shattered dreams, and I’ll bring mine
Could healing still be spoken and save us
The only way we’ll last forever is broken together.
