A broken and contrite heart is something that God will not despise according to Psalm 51:17. In the lives of believers throughout redemptive history, God has often broken people down in order to give God the most glory. Over a head nodding Braille beat, Stephen describes many accounts of biblical stories in which things or people are broken in order for God to fulfill His purpose. Braille reminds the listener that God is steadfast and faithful when we undergo trials and seasons of brokenness.

Brokenness over “I Can Feel That” beat by Braille
For the “Glory Thieves” album
Intro- “Isn’t it crazy how God breaks things down so He can get the most glory?!?!
Stephen’s Verse
The Lord is looking for those whose hearts are contrite and broken
Mind and emotions consumed by God through time and devotion
Their Bible are opened, with eyes on Christ they are focused
Their pride’s eroding, without Christ they realize they are hopeless
Look at Jacob, wrestled with God, then his hip was broken
God blessed Him, changed His name to Israel, what his lips had spoken
Look at Moses, used by God to be breaking the rock
Then water sprayed out the rock, it was hydrating the flock!
Look at Judges 7, where you see the army broken
Down to 300 men, the number that God had chosen (How come?)
So He could get the most glory because the Lord’s amazing
The soldiers had to break their jars before their torches blazing
Pointing to their brokenness this is getting me hype
Then Gideon fights defeating the Mideonites!
I think I figured it out whenever I seen the widow’s account
In 2 Kings she broke the seal of her jaw and then oil’s amount
Multiplied miraculous just like the Christ of Nazareth
He broke the bread, folks were fed, the sight is so immaculate
Look at Mary see her breaking her jar of perfume
Washed Jesus’ feet with her own hair by her God she’s consumed
Look at Jesus, body broken by thorns and the nails
The broken women by the cross, hear their mourns and their wails
Look at Jesus, He was broken at Gethsemane
He Suffered God’s wrath, He was broken for His enemies!!
Hook: There ain’t a problem that God can’t fix
His power and His glory is revealed through brokenness
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
There ain’t a problem that God can’t fix
His power and His glory is revealed through brokenness
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
Braille’s Verse
My body is a tent it’s a temporary home
While I live in it I groan I’m weighed down by many burdens
I am certain of a future where my dwelling will be permanent
I’m a servant of my Savior who was broken to determine it
While I’m present in the body I’m away from the Lord
There’s many troubles in this world, danger, famine and sword
I could mention more but in the face of death I’m full of life
Cuz none of it can separate me from the love of Christ!
I was saved through His suffering so even when I’m suffering He comforts me
I am not alone I’m in good company!! (yea)
This is the path so many saints walked but in the end they thanked God
He’s steadfast and faithful so this is how our faith grows
The Spirit gives us eyes to see the king’s kingdom
Our hope is fixed on when the resurrected king comes!
And when He does He’s making all things new
I’m crucified with Christ and God is gonna raise me too! Glory!
Hook: There ain’t a problem that God can’t fix
His power and His glory is revealed through brokenness
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
There ain’t a problem that God can’t fix
His power and His glory is revealed through brokenness
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
Sample: Broken man God’s redemption plan gives me hope
And that might be the rawest rhyme I ever wrote
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
God is with the broken, He’s with me in my brokenness
Sample: Broken man God’s redemption plan gives me hope
And that might be the rawest rhyme I ever wrote
