Matthew West, “Mended”

Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Matthew West has released the third single from his album Live Forever. Titled Mended, the song is an encouraging song that speaks of how God sees us, and is a worthy follow-up to his recent Top 10 hit, Grace Wins. Following in the footsteps of Day One and Grace Wins, I’m hopeful West will score yet another Top 10 hit. Songs about God being a God of second chances, of how He provides everything we need so that we can live a life of abundance and purpose, typically perform well on radio. Given the age of the album, it may be a little more difficult, but radio has always been supportive of Matthew’s singles, so I’m hopeful God and Matthew can make this happen.

MENDED Lyrics
Matthew West

How many times can one heart break?
It was never supposed to be this way
Look in the mirror, but you find someone you never thought you’d be

Oh, but I can still recognize
The one I love in your tear stained eyes
I know you might not see him now, so lift your eyes to me

When you see broken beyond repair
I see healing beyond belief
When you see too far gone
I see one step away from home

When you see nothing but damaged goods
I see something good in the making
I’m not finished yet
When you see wounded, I see mended

You see your worst mistake
But I see the price I paid
There’s nothing you could ever do, to lose what grace has won

So hold on, it’s not the end
No, this is where love’s work begins
I’m making all things new
And I will make a miracle of you

When you see broken beyond repair
I see healing beyond belief
When you see too far gone
I see one step away from home

When you see nothing but damaged goods
I see something good in the making
I’m not finished yet
When you see wounded, I see mended

I see my child, my beloved
The new creation you’re becoming
You see the scars from when you fell
But I see the stories they will tell

You see worthless, I see priceless
You see pain, but I see a purpose
You see unworthy, undeserving
But I see you through eyes of mercy

When you see broken beyond repair
I see healing beyond belief
You’re not too far gone
You’re one step away from home

When you see nothing but damaged goods
I see something good in the making
I’m not finished yet, no
When you see wounded, I see mended

Ooh, I see mended
Woah, oh I see mended
I’m not finished yet
When you see wounded, I see mended
