Matthew West, “Broken Things”

Contemporary Christian singer Matthew West has released “Broken Things,” the latest single from his new album, “All In,” which debuted at No.2 on Billboard’s Christian Albums chart. “Broken Things” is an inspiring paean to giving God everything we are and have, for His glory, despite our own flaws and limitations.

BROKEN THINGS Lyrics
Matthew West

If grace was a kingdom
I stopped at the gate
Thinking I don’t deserve to pass through after all the mistakes that I’ve made

Oh but I heard a whisper
As Heaven bent down
Said, “Child, don’t you know that the first will be last and the last get a crown”

[Chrous]
Now I’m just a beggar in the presence of a King
I wish I could bring so much more
But if it’s true You use broken things
Then here I am Lord, I’m all Yours

[Verse 2]
The pages of history they tell me it’s true
That it’s never the perfect; it’s always the ones with the scars that You use

It’s the rebels and the prodigals; it’s the humble and the weak
All the misfit heroes You chose
Tell me there’s hope for sinners like me

[Chrous]
Now I’m just a beggar in the presence of a King
I wish I could bring so much more
But if it’s true You use broken things
Then here I am Lord, I’m all Yours

[Outro]
Grace is a kingdom
With gates open wide
There’s a seat at the table just waiting for you
So, come on inside
