Broken World - lyrics by Across the Sky

My heart is breaking. I just got offline chatting with a friend. This person has no hope for a better future. They believe in God, but their thoughts of Him are that He has not done anything but cause pain for this person for a number of years now. I hurt; I ache for this friend. I want to take care of their pain. I want to make it all better. I am in tears for my friend and that I can't help them.

"Promises shattered
Answers don't come
Friends say goodbye
Plans come undone
Dreams get crushed
Lies get told
Words can turn cruel
Hearts can grow cold

CHORUS
In a broken world where we cry to feel
Some hope that helps these hearts to heal
You're my strength, You're my refuge
In a broken world, Jesus I'm holding to You

You make sense of the madness
And You make darkness flee
You bring such a calm
To the chaos in me
Show me life
Tell me truth
Day after day I keep running to You

Repeat CHORUS

Long ago, we fell so far
Yet You came to where we are"
