Need Recommendations

[jd0268]

I would like your recommendations on worship songs that address the topic of brokenness and humbling ourselves before God

I have the song Holiness already, as well as Humbly Thyself in the Sight of the Lord.

Any others?! We are doing a "push" to our youth group concerning Psalm 51:17

Thanks
Jason

First song that jumped in my head, Sweetly Broken - Jeremy Riddle

[coffeecupkat]

It's not necessarily a worship song, but Lifehouse's Broken is very apropos, in a narrative style, and would probably connect well with a youth audience.

Hungry (Falling On My Knees)
"broken I run to You
for Your arms are open wide
I am weary but I know Your touch restores my life
so I'll wait for You
so I'll wait for You "

Breathing the Breath by Matt Redman
"We have nothing to give
That didn’t first come from Your hands
We have nothing to offer You
Which You did not provide
Every good, perfect gift comes from
Your kind and gracious heart
And all we do is give back to You
What always has been Yours"

Once Again by Matt Redman
"And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You
Once again I pour out my life"

Just a few I thought of...

Give Us Clean Hands by Chris Tomlin

"We bow our hearts
We bend our knees
Oh Spirit come make us humble
We turn our eyes
From evil things
Oh Lord we cast down our idols

So give us clean hands
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh give us clean hands
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh God let this be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob
Oh God let us be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob"

Sweetly Broken is a solid suggestion.

[Smitty]

Hey!

Try Third Day's "Cry Out to Jesus". It speaks to most people on several levels, and has a great chorus!

[iamanoffering]

You could use "We Humble Ourselves" on Paul Baloche's God of Wonders CD. That's a GREAT song.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions! The Jeremy Riddle song is great!
Thanks

"Blessed are the Broken"

Chorus 1
Blessed are the broken
The Spirit of Christ
Flows through the life laid down
His Life abounds
Blessed are the broken
Given as bread
The hungry are fed
The Living Word spoken
Blessed are
Blessed are the broken


Verse 1
His body torn
His holy blood poured
Bitter was the cup
Gave His life freely
In the sight of the Lord
Now He's high and lifted up
We tremble we worship
We fall at the feet
Of the One who was broken
To make us complete
How our hearts rejoice
As He speaks


Misc 1
(BRIDGE)
Let the oil pour out
Through these broken vessels
Healing oil pour out
And cover the earth
As You flood us with life
That our hearts can't contain
We will give it away
In Jesus' name

you can download the song from Itunes
