You've placed me in places[00:09.45]I could have never imagined[00:11.54]The moments of grief and sadness[00:13.86]Of chaos and madness[00:15.95]Disaster and dissatisfaction[00:19.02]Pardon my over reaction[00:21.19]But there's been moments[00:22.35]Where I felt like giving up[00:23.96]Where misery was my cup[00:25.83]And All I had were these salt tears[00:28.64]God, are you still here[00:30.81]Or have my fears finally come to pass[00:33.56]They told me that pain is temporary[00:35.63]But this emptiness has lasted[00:37.81]And I once sat silently passive[00:39.96]But now I'm held captive[00:41.43]By the need to call this for what it really is[00:44.07]God, where are You[00:45.73]And what are You saying[00:46.96]Cactuses my only friends[00:48.62]And I'm not playing[00:49.84]You get to close and they start stabbing[00:52.15]These desert wolves keep playing savage[00:54.92]God, where are You[00:56.69]Why can't I feel You[00:58.52]Where's the breakthrough[01:00.20]Remember, You made me[01:02.65]I didn't make You[01:04.26]So I am Your responsibility[01:07.17]And lately it feels like You've[01:09.05]limited my mobility[01:10.69]And You've kept me in this dry valley[01:12.77]Where only bones keep me company[01:14.98]So, what is it You're showing me[01:21.22]And while I didn't make You[01:23.03]I continually try to shape You[01:25.71]Into the God I desire You to be[01:28.35]The God of the breakthrough[01:30.45]And I hear You whisper, Joe[01:33.18]You don't need a breakthrough[01:35.39]I need to break you[01:38.17]Well, Lord be subtle[01:39.07]Before You break me like[01:40.24]Bread You broke before[01:41.40]They sold You for silver[01:44.00]See, I think that's the part of communion[01:45.51]That we miss[01:46.88]We talk about the broken body that You endured[01:49.56]As if we don't have to sacrifice anymore[01:52.34]But maybe You broke that bread with Your own hands[01:55.18]As a symbol that one day You'll break us[01:57.17]with Yours[01:58.53]Because whoever wants to gain his life[02:00.58]Will lose it[02:01.77]And lately I feel like I'm losing while[02:03.82]Everyone else is winning[02:05.51]And I guess that's the point[02:06.69]Because I'm just now beginning[02:08.88]To realize that to live is Christ[02:11.63]And to die is gain[02:13.32]So connected to this barren plain[02:15.84]Are the tears hidden behind these frames[02:18.64]And maybe the only thing[02:19.95]That can turn this dust[02:21.17]Into moldable mud[02:22.85]Are these tears as they flood[02:25.47]So as You poured out Your blood[02:27.75]I'll pour out these salt tears[02:31.28]And as I peer through squinted eyes[02:34.91]Flooded by the residue of water left behind[02:37.62]I'll thank You Jesus that because You now live[02:41.39]I too, am called to die[02:44.60]But resurrection will have the final cry[02:47.57]These desert bones will come to life[02:50.58]Bursting forth at the perfect time[02:54.28]Transforming these tears[02:56.60]into new wine[03:07.73]Break me like the bread You broke[03:09.21]Before they sold You for silver[03:11.65]If You don't break me[03:12.74]Will I sell You out for silver[03:14.98]Lord, break me like the bread You broke[03:18.12]Before they sold You for silver[03:20.01]If You don't break me[03:22.40]Will I sell You out for silver
