Broken Dreams

How many times in a lifetime
Can dreams be shattered and broken?
How many times can a heart break
Without a word having been spoken

How many times must my heart be in pieces
And my spirit be brought so low
To be buried in obscurity and sadness
Not knowing how much further it can go

A lifetime full of broken dreams
A heart that is sore and aching
A spirit hiding behind the wall of pieces
A wall of its own making

Yet in the distance a voice is heard
Come all who labour and are heavy laden
And I will give you rest
So I go as I am bidden

For it is my Saviour calling me
To come out from the burden of grief
For He was known as a Man of sorrows
And in Him I can find relief

For He surely has borne my grief and sorrows
He knows of a broken heart and wounded soul
He will walk with me and dry my tears
With Him I will be made whole

He has taken me by the hand
And with me He will walk this weary way
He has taken the pieces of my heart
And rebuilds it each time I pray
