Pieces Of My Heart

Born whole and innocent,
Now broken and confused.
You say this is the heart you want,
A heart that you can use.

Lord, I don't understand
Why you want this heart of mine.
Do you think that you can transform it,
Make it in you divine?

My heart has been crushed and is bleeding.
It is empty and void within.
But you say this is the heart you chose,
To come and abide herein.

My heart, it has been rejected,
It has suffered oh such pain.
And now you want to cradle it in your arms,
And consider it your gain.

Who am I that you should bother?
Who am I that you should care?
I am just a shattered mess,
My heart is scattered everywhere.

But there is something deep inside me,
That wants to trust you oh so much.
So I will sweep up all the pieces,
And accept you healing touch.
