“Mended” Lyrics
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
