God Uses Broken Things

Vicky Moots

God has chosen the foolish things

The weak, the base and despised

To bring to nothing the things of this world

That God might be glorified.

God used things that are broken

Things that have oft been abused

Man shuns the poor, lame and weary

But these are the lives that God used.

He used broken bread to feed the hungry

Broken pitchers to bring forth light

Ground must be broken to yield its fruit

Broken lives will win the fight.

The weakness of God is stronger

His foolishness much more wise

Then all of the strength and wisdom of man

In his haughty and arogant pride.

Jesus Himself was broken

Despised and rejected was He.

But He’s nigh to those of a broken heart

So broken, like Him, we must be.

Oh, come partake of the Bread of Life

Yes, Jesus was broken for you

Just give Him your broken and wasted life.

And He will make it new.
