Broken

Having been quite emotional lately, I turn to God for inspiration and solace. Disappointment after disappointment, my anger actually let itself out once. Luckily, it did not result in violence or harsh words. When, why, who, I won't say. I feel bad for that action, but when I look to God, he tells me, "stop feeling bad, learn your lesson from it and move on." I really feel that songs can speak to you, and so happened that I was listening to Lifehouse (a secular-Christian band), looking for a song that kinda attached to me. The lyrics really meant a lot to me, even when I first listened to it. The song talks about a brokenness, probably from a relationship. But to me, it talks about spilling out to the one you love, who, to me, is God. Here are the lyrics:

The Broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
From stealing all my time
And I am here still waiting
Though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
Like you've already figured out

Chorus:
I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain
There is healing
In your name
I find meaning
So I'm holding on (I'm holdin on)(I'm holdin on)
I'm barely holding on to you

The broken locks were a warning
You got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I'm an open book instead
And I still see your reflection
Inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpose
They're still looking for life

I'm hanging on another day
Just to see what, you will throw my way
And I'm hanging on, to the words you say
You said that I will, will be okay
The broken light on the freeway
Left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
But I haven't forgotten my way home


Don't really feel like looking up a Bible reference, even though my bible is right in front of me. Ah, never mind. Just remember, when you're down, look up to God. When you're broken, look up to God also. When you got no where else to go, look up to God lah.
