Something Was Broken

From my passionate pleadings
Words in the night, sighs lifted up
In the sweet name of Christ
There is strength, there is power
From faith reaching out
From a heart choosing courage
To believe in spite of doubt

Something was broken way up in the sky
Some face of evil felt its very first cry
Darkness was shattered
Chains of despair fell like a whisper
With the words of a prayer
Something was broken way up in the air

Won't rely on my feelings
Fickle and fleeting, I offer a plea
Borne on wings of wild hope
I will rest in a promise
Given in blood from a cross
From a Brother whose love
Whose love overcomes

Something was broken way up in the sky
Some face of evil felt its very first cry
Darkness was shattered
Chains of despair fell like a whisper
With the words of a prayer
Something was broken way up in the air

Something was broken
Something was broken
Something was broken
Something was broken

Something was broken
Something was broken
Something was broken
Something was broken

Oh, something was broken way up in the sky
Some face of evil felt its very first cry
Darkness was shattered
Chains of despair fell like a whisper
With the words of a prayer
Something, something was broken
Way up in the air

Something was broken
Something was broken
Something was broken
Something was broken

Darkness was shattered
Chains of despair fell like a whisper
With the words of a prayer
Something was broken way up in the air

Something was broken
Something was broken
Something was broken
Something was broken

Darkness was shattered
Chains of despair fell like a whisper
With the words of a prayer
Something was broken way up in the air

Something was broken, oh...
Something was broken
