Broken Levee

Been livin' in a parched land, with dust in my throat

Tried to dig my own well, Lord, but it was just a joke

Built a wall around my heart, stacked it high with stone and pride

Tellin' myself I was safe and sound with everything to hide.

Then the sky cracked open with a thunderin' sound

And Your river of mercy came tearin' on down!

And it broke the levee, washed away the stain

Oh, I'm dancin' in the flood of Your healing rain!

I spent years patchin' up the cracks, with my anger and my shame

Believin' the lie that I was the only one to blame

I thought I was strong enough, thought I could hold the line

Against the truth that my broken soul was never truly mine.

'Cause the sky cracked open with a thunderin' sound

And Your river of mercy came tearin' on down!

And it broke the levee, washed away the stain

Oh, I'm dancin' in the flood of Your healing rain!

No more holdin' back now! No more runnin' dry!

Let the waters rise up, Lord, up to the sky!

Break it all! Take it all! Every single piece!

Gimme that sweet, sweet, holy release!

AND THE SKY CRACKED OPEN WITH A THUNDERIN' SOUND!

AND YOUR RIVER OF MERCY CAME TEARIN' ON DOWN!

AND IT BROKE THE LEVEE, WASHED AWAY THE STAIN!

OH, I'M DANCIN' IN THE FLOOD OF YOUR HEALING RAIN!
