Lyrics: (Psalm 139, Philippians 4:6-7, Habakkuk 3:17-19, James 1:5-8)
What do you think about when you look at me
I know we're not the fairytale you dreamed we'd be
You wore the veil, you walked the aisle, you took my hand
And we dove into a mystery
How I wish we could go back to simpler times
Before all our scars and all our secrets were in the light
Now on this hallowed ground, we've drawn the battle lines
Will we make it through the night
It's going to take much more than promises this time
Only God can change our minds
Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete
Could we just be broken together
If you can bring your shattered dreams and I'll bring mine
Could healing still be spoken and save us
The only way we'll last forever is broken together
How it must have been so lonely by my side
We were building kingdoms and chasing dreams and left love behind
I'm praying God will help our broken hearts align
And we won't give up the fight

this morning after getting dressed i went into the kitchen to make my husbands breakfast he had poured me a coffee i know that does not sound like much but he has never done that i said thank you he hugged me tightly i could hardly keep back the tears i wispered in his ear i Love you he said i dont deserve you i said yes you do when he left he said see you tonight and kissed me , I feel so happy
This made me cry!
Happy for you…it’s the little things that mean the most in this world
grandmom joyce already crying but ur post made me cry happy sad tears…❤️that’s really sweet..
grandmom joyce little gestures sometimes mean much more than the bigger ones especially when we are not expecting them. Just a continued reminder that we are loved. Glad you had a sweet moment together. 😊
Mike Cannon Awwww! 😊
I wish my husband was willing to fight for me. We separated Sept. 7th. Almost 3 months ago. He wants a divorce. I just wanted to have a better relationship with him. But no matter what I tried, it didn’t matter. He didn’t want to try. Told me I wasn’t worth it. I am in so much pain. I have been going to church and praying to God for help. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I signed with a lawyer a couple days ago because I have to worry about my kids financially. I pray that God has better plans for me in the future.
Hopefully things are better.
Rebecca G-mestargazr I pray God restores what’s broken in your family 😢🙏 coz I know he will
Rebecca G-mestargazr do you have an update for us…?
i am in the middle of trying to encourage a friend of mine about relationship issues we all go thru one time or another. Out of all the comments yours i just felt drawn to acknowledge. ive been married almost 20 years not always peaches(maybe rotten nasty molded used to be fruit) but we both believe in God and do love Big. IDK Gods plan for our future but i keep Him first and its workin. I am curious if u dont mind telling a stranger…How are You? I pray better given this comment is 2yrs old.

I know I am just a 11 year old kid but for all you people out there I have had experience with fights and wanting to devorice but i prayed and my Parents are still together so he can save Marriages
So now you are 13. I hope things are still good. Parents love their children more than anything in the world; don’t think otherwise.
Jadyn B amen sister the Lord can do anything he wants
This made my night!!
I have struggled with our marriage and its my fault. God came to me the other day and I felt forgiveness from Him. I am changing how ww live our lives and my wife was always praying for me. I finally heard God through my heart. Don’t give up on marriage. Love is there. Pray together and write down verses that both of you can read and study together. Good luck, i am saying a prayer right now for you and your marriage.
God bless you 🙂
This song i played so many times when i heard my mother had cancer… She believed and i believed in her.
I always believed she would get better, i got married and she was there though we saw the light in her eyes fade.
then oktober 2014 she passed away and i am never gonna be the same again.
I’m broken all toghether for the rest of my life.. Till that day we meet each other again.
I’m so down and i hide it pretty well for my wife and our little girl but somewhere deep inside she comes alive and i cry..
So this song is special to me and i miss mama and papa so much… i’m just an orphan now…
You are not an orphan….you belong to Gods family now….welcome to the family….we love you..
I lost my grandma about a year ago and I know what you feel like right now
God/Jesus Loves you and you’ll never be alone. You’re mom and dad look upon you and they say hold you’re head up because life is just…. They are always within your heart and this is what life’s about. Doing what’s right and making memories that will last forever
Sorry..it’s well.I feel you…
I feel you my friend I just lost my mom a couple of months ago , here I am now crying before I sleep at night , like I’m an orphan , my father died when I was 8 years old , the father I never knew till I reached high school only thru a picture , a family portrait , I have no recollection of him , now I just turned 49 , and still longing for my mother’s hug and love , but I know she’s happy now with God
In the name of our Almighty Savior, Jesus Christ, I pray for every single person here that you would give them a supernatural love and peace encounter that they have never had before. Jesus, I ask for comfort and strength for these broken, wounded people that you would heal their hearts and minds. Nothing is too big for you Jesus to perform a mighty miracle and I ask that you would perform miracles in families, marriages, relationships….We need you Jesus in this broken world and I pray that everyone here would turn their lives over to you if they haven’t already tonight. We can do all things through you Jesus Who gives us the strength. Jesus, I end with Numbers 6:24-26 for everyone here tonight, „May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show His favor and give you His peace“ Amen
Amen
This song touched me on so many levels. „What do you think about when you look at me?“ I see Jesus smiling at me, a sinner. Full of love. Unconditional, boundless, generous love. He loves us all so much. Lord help us to know Your love. To accept it. And to share it with all we encounter. In Jesus name, Amen.
This made me cry. I pray the prayer too. Thank you for posting.
I’m not a christian but this song really hit me. I do believe in God and I know that what I’m going through is in his hands now and I only pray that he can lead us back to each other.
prayers for you!
+singingstar56 How very COOL! Thank you for being honest. God loves you. I look forward to meeting you in Heaven.
+singingstar56 Peace in Christ’s name
Jesus will be your comfort in all of your tribulation. Sweetie just call on the name of Jesus He loves you more than anything. GOD WILL ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS ONCE YOU CALL UPON HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. May God bless you. I will pray for you. Whatever you are going through just know God is bigger than that. God bless sweetie
singingstar56 Amen!! God’s Love is so powerful. I love this!! If you have questions, we are here The fact that you put your situation in his hands is something many Christians have difficulty with. Surrender. Trusting him to handle. Realizing we need him and he will give us strength in our weakest moments! Praise God!
I am a pagan/atheist blend, but music is music, and well done melodies and touching lyrics have a power that reaches us all, regardless of spiritual beliefs. This song is so incredibly heart wrenching and beautiful, and even though I know this is a christian group, I wanted to comment on this amazing song and say that human emotion and our connection to one another is more powerful than any god or religion. Be kind to one another.
I may not agree with your beliefs, but I totally agree with your comments. Thank you, <3
People get touched by Quranic recitations too. I never let my emotions drive my faith. If I had, I’d still be a Muslim. But I love Christian music because it matches with what I logically and rationally perceive to be the ultimate truth.
Markus GH Amen to that Word…may the Holy Spirit keep guiding you unto all TRUTH!!! Amen and Amen. Glory be to God…
Rhaevyn Hart this thread of comments is pure amazing. I see more unity in diversity than I ever have from any other place. From believers to unbelievers who are courageous enough to post something he sees beauty in and how you respect others beliefs shows that God is all around us. I’ve seen two posts from young to barely an adult who had amazing intellectual and spiritual comments about this that blew my mind. This song got me through a painful divorce and a high conflict custody battle full of betrayal, hurt, pain, etc. even after that, I continued to see hope in my ex husband , even his comments about this song. I kept believing him until I realized he had wrong motives. I pray everyday for him and for God to bless him. I have forgave him. I want to truly believe he can be restored but he doesn’t believe and he let that slowly unravel. He displays traits and behavioral patterns of a severe personality disorder , and has emotionally abused me and psychologically brainwashed me once in the past temporarily. I pray for restoration and reconciliation and as evil as his actions and words are, he hurts so deep and it his way of surviving from ongoing childhood trauma. He is delusional I fear my children will be affected as I see signs. My point is not to sound negative, but to say how this reminded me of faith, never saying never, showing others mercy for we have been show mercy, and that Gods word is truth and it’s shown here. His love more importantly is shown here that no matter believer or not, his love is so amazing and “ reckless” that he truly graciously loves us all and will do anything he can to not let us fall to non belief. He leaves the 99 to find the one who wanders off. He loves all of us. All of us!!!!
Rhaevyn Hart what a beautiful soul you are. Believe it or not the reason you feel connected and love is from God. God is love. I love you too and sending you light and much love.
this song gives me the feels..I think back to every time I have felt that my marriage was on shaky ground.. I now think of this song and it reminds me it’s going to be ok even if we are not perfect.. even if damage is done. God really can give us the insight needed to get through. when my husband makes me feel less than loved, I can always pray for him, despite not being able to fix things. Heavenly Father, blessed be your name
Amen! God, and only God has got me through the last 7 years. If it wasn’t for him I don’t know if I would still be here today. I lost my Marine Corps career of 13 years due to my lung disease, to a year of depression of having to get out, to horrible marriage problems, God keeps me going. I keep praying for everything and our marriage to get back to how it used to be. Praise God!
This song makes me realize I can’t expect perfection in marriage, that brokenness is preferable to separateness, and maybe we can make it through this broken together.
I tried my hardest to make it. I tried to hold the whole marriage together before he left my daughter and I, cheated, and raped someone else. It is a bad situation. I really wish that we could of just gotten counseling and made it together. I am not perfect. I wanted to work on it. Now, I can only „slightly“ Hope for a miracle of some sort.
I had a hardened heart six weeks ago. My wife left and it broke my heart, which needed to happen. After my surgery that too me off my feet for a year I grew bitter and my wife suffered the brunt of it. She read her bible and prayed daily (I think she did a lot of praying for me). Even after she left she gave me an option to prove myself. Today were suppose to meet up. I want to apologize for wounding her heart, show her I have been going to counseling, I have got a decent job that is temp to hire and it is very simple. In my open time I have ran to God and started reading my bible daily, attending church every Sunday, attending a men’s group, a prayer group, and Celebrate Recovery. I have been hearing God speak to me more where a couple months ago I was closed off to him. I hope my wife sees the transformation in me. Praying her and I can move towards reconciliation and that od leads me not to be a good man but a Godly Man.
Randy Watson I hope things are going well for you. I’m going through something similar too. I just pray that God helps me to be the husband,father and man he wants me to be.. you and your family will be in my prayers. Keep fighting the good fight!!
soloscriptura sologratia oh man how I needed to hear this!!!
Randy Watson Celebrate Recovery is wonderful for so many needs. Bless you!
Randy Watson She will see your personal growth
We love your updated Randy! Let all the single ladies following know your stats! Lol 😉
I miss my ex-wife so much… she still has my heart, and every day is just as hard as the last to function without her. If she still loved me even a fraction as much as I love her, I would hold her close and never let her go…
Nick,what did you do her?you miss your ex-wife,you apparently you did something wrong Ask, God,forgive you, We, have merciful God,mend that marriage
+Maryann Baeza my wife left me because I was unwilling to follow her down a path that lead to emotional and spiritual ruin. She went from being a good Christian woman to some crazy girl practicing witchcraft and dating people a decade older than her. Please pray for her soul.
Nick Bade Lord bless you follow after Him. Let Him be your all in all and pray for her soul as will I brother. In Jesus mighty name Amen
Maryann Baeza Don’t assume that just because someone left it’s the other person’s fault. Sometimes no matter how much you try to work things out with someone, the other party is completely unwilling to budge. We cannot change another person. We only have control over our own choices and must leave the outcome in the Lord’s hands. Some things are out of our control no matter how hard we may try to fix it.
Put your trust in Jesus…He loves you with an ever lasting love…
made me weep like a little girl. love is not an emotion or an action, its a choice. 💖
U r so right.
True love is represented by action, comes from a sincere heart, and only by the power of God. A choice too, yes. Emotions are often involved, of course, but it is never solely of emotional form, as is about 14 of the other 17 definitions for love.
Ethan B
That is untrue. Just because God doesn’t answer the prayer as we want Him too doesn’t mean He hasn’t answered. He knows the future and so He answers for the best of everyone. We don’t even know what to pray most of the time. And God doesn’t seek prayers from His children to help Him determine what He should or shouldn’t do. It shows us how to seek the Father through Christ in true relationship which leads us to realize that trusting Him and His will is the best path for us. We may think we know what’s best but God laughs as he knows what tomorrow holds.
It’s like this. Let’s say you pray that you will make a flight somewhere on time. God causes an alarm not to go off in time and you are running behind. If you had left on time your family would have been all killed in a head on wreck from a drunk driver. Just a minor change like waking up late is directed by God to fulfill his purpose and will.
Even Jesus when about to go to the cross asked the father to take that path away from Him but He then said but not my will but yours be done. In other words Jesus gave us an example to pray for God’s will even when it may not be what we want or think is right. Gods will is always the good and right path at all times. Praise God for his grace and love in Christ Jesus.
I am married to the most beautiful and sweet hearted woman ever. She married me as we always knew in our hearts we were meant for one another. At the right time God put us together. I was still very immature and had a lot of problems that needed to be removed from life and I almost destroyed our marriage.
By all accounts she should have left me but God gave her great patience as she waited and prayed for the Lord to change me. I thought I had a relationship with Christ but my life showed no evidence of being changed. Finally God broke me and I realized what I had in her and my family. Everything I could ever want. And her love and patience pointed me towards and helped me understand the love of God through Christ Jesus. This is why love is so powerful and has the ability to bring a person to faith in God. Her walk her love showed me that love is patient kind and keeps no records of wrongs. Always hopes and endures and never fails. Jesus was after me and wouldn’t let me deceive myself. He wanted a true relationship with me where I trusted his grace to forgive my sins. This finally took root and I accepted that he paid my debt in full and wouldn’t cast me away as he had given me the free gift of salvation through his son. He worked true repentance and godly sorrow into my heart which finally took root and now I know I am his son forever.
He will work on us until we leave this world but if we are his we will never be the same and we will continue to grow in the fruits of the spirit and not of the flesh.
Be sure you are not self deceiving yourself. If you just said a prayer but you know you follow the flesh mostly and aren’t changing and growing in the fruit of the spirit which a few are patience kindness gentleness being slow to anger and learning to control the desires of the flesh or self control repent and turn to Christ in true repentance and ask him to save and change you. Today is the day of salvation for we are not promised tomorrow.
Yes, I agree, except when there is abuse…emotional, verbal, psychological, and/or physical and threats of violence. Alcoholism, drug addiction, porn addiction, infidelity, adultery. At some point the choice needs to be to love yourself enough to save your own life. So many times I was sent the lyrics to this song, but he never understood that there is broken, and then there is shattered, toxic, unlawful. I stayed as long as I could. When it became adulterous, I asked him to be the one to end it so he could do what he wanted. He refused in order to be able to call me a quitter and blame it all on me. Arrested and still drinking and driving. My heart is still broken because I expected to be that elderly couple. He lost his children, then his job, then his marriage but none of it woke him up. Cherish each other in your brokeness and thank God every day that it isn’t toxic and destructive. I still pray for him and hope he finds the strength that God has been offering all along.
I am currently involved in a fight to try and keep my wife from leaving and my family together. This song hits home for me in so many ways. I am a grown man who hasn’t cried in years. Yet tears flowed freely after only a few minutes listening to this song. I have certainly made my share of mistakes and am just as much to blame for our situation as her. What scares me the most is the apathy she now exhibits towards me. She doesn’t care anymore. Where as I do care. Very deeply. But it is going to take much more than promises this time. God is our only hope.
I am in the exact situation as you right now. It hurts more than anything but I know God will fix this. He has to or I’m just going to fall apart
Have you read the book of Hosea?
Ryang256 Praying for you and yours, brother. Whatever the outcome, God has purpose for our triumphs and failures. God bless.
Ryang256 I was in your situation 3 years ago. Only God can help. I know all about trying to save a marriage when the other person has no empathy. Literally brain deficit if it and it’s not his fault. It’s trauma based childhood. I pray everyday for him and our children.
Hope all worked out for you Ryan.
We live in a very broken world, but it doesn’t mean we have to let it identify us. Because of Christ, we have forgiveness and reconciliation with God and marriage is a perfect example of it, even if we are flawed. This song is so beautiful and I hope many people, singles and marrieds, listen to this. 💕
Absolutely..! ☺
+Joan Eugenio amen
thanks April, and you are so very right.
Every married person and those getting ready for marriage should see and understand this…..marriage is not a game, it’s work.
Robin Steffens AMEN to that…hard work.
So true. But the work is worth the reward! Life sucks without the person you love
Amen to that. … 6 months in and it is the hardest thing sometimes.
I learned to late were still married legally but separated for a long time I just can’t let go or give up holding on to the grace of God an some day hope
MiguelPpM Soren Kierkegaard.
Only the One who made us can make us complete
Amen!
sarah fernandez Amen, sister.
sarah fernandez I love you
sarah fernandez amen
Yes, we need God’s help so bad! I don’t know what to do anymore. I’ve tried and am losing it all
Most people seek marriage to find happiness or to feel complete. That is far from the truth, happiness isn’t a result of marriage it is a bi product. Marriage is about two broken people coming together and living for God. This song is spot on. (:
49 Years old, married for 30 years now, its amazing how much we both have changed from 18 years old to now. The key is to give each other space to change, but we still have the same goals. We use to be teenagers just trying to make it in life. Reflecting back, I think we have done pretty good , now we need to look forward to the next 30 years together.
01po01po wow. Thank you for the advice.
01po01po amazingly said. Space ….I feel that too and try to explain that, but it’s only heard as leaving or wanting somebody else. When all I want is him. But I do want space, and the need to grow and find me, and make me who I want to be. With God. And the universe.
maby It’s a weird question but can anyone how see this pray for me. I have a hard situation. I don’t want that someone think I m sad or something but there is nobody Who pray for me and I feel I need it. and I try but I can’t pray by myself. maby it sounds weird but I can’t. so can anyone pleass help me cus I feel I need it
carlijn van heusden I will definitely send you some prayers and ur not weird at all.
Praying for you God is always there.
carlijn van heusden. I am in Mountain City Tennessee and I will pray for you. God has not lost your address.
Yes
Have you given your whole life to Jesus?
I wish I had my wife back… I love her so much. i’m a broken man and i see all my mistakes. Its funny how when you loose everything you begin to see all your faults and failures . If I could just turn back time id do things a lot different. I don’t wish what I’m going through on anybody.
Sending a prayer your way
