I Am Both Broken, and Saved - summer

It wasn't til I came across
a perfect Love that I felt lost,
it was His Love that brought me down
yet I was lifted from the ground
where else could this be found?
*
If You, God,
command me to be well
nothing on earth or in hell
could ever change what You say -
I am both broken and saved.
Your power to relieve
is brought to those who believe,
I take my rightful, humble place -
I am both broken and saved.
There's no loss when I repent,
from You the liberations sent
Your Love has overcome the grave,
I am both broken and saved.
I know the power that I've seen
restores my soul yet wipes it clean,
I'm prone to worship every day -
I am both broken and saved.

Now I've come home to who He is
I've died to self - it's He who lives,
these opposites are gifts He gives...
If You, God,
command me to be well
nothing on earth or in hell
could ever change what You say -
I am both broken and saved.
Your power to relieve
is brought to those who believe,
I take my rightful, humble place -
I am both broken and saved.
There's no loss when I repent
from You the liberation's sent,
Your Love has overcome the grave,
I am both broken and saved.
I know the power that I've seen
restores my soul yet wipes it clean,
I'm prone to worship every day -
I am both broken and saved.
