Casting Crowns - Broken Together
Casting Crowns reflects on the mysteries of marriage in the somber Broken Together.
The track appears on the group's forthcoming album Thrive.
Broken Together was inspired after several conversations I had with friends on relationships," says frontman Mark Hall, who wrote the song.
"Marriage is tough, and it got me thinking about how we bring a lot of fairy tales to the picture when it comes to marriage. We think, 'This is going to be perfect. We're not going to have any problems.' And then the problems hit and you don't know where to file those into your picture."
Hall says he views the song as a reminder that people in hurting marriages can still have hope. "We are all broken people, but when we make the choice to meet each other where we are, God's love can make something beautiful out of our brokenness."
The lyrics:
What do you think about when you look at me
I know we're not the fairy tale you dreamed we'd be
You wore the veil, you walked the aisle, you took my hand
And we dove into a mystery
How I wish we could go back to simpler times
Before all our scars and all our secrets were in the light
Now on this hallowed ground, we've drawn the battle lines
Will we make it through the night?
It's going to take much more than promises this time
Only God can change our minds
Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete
Could we just be broken together
If you can bring your shattered dreams and I'll bring mine
Could healing still be spoken and save us
The only way we'll last forever is broken together
How it must have been so lonely by my side
We were building kingdoms and chasing dreams and left love behind
I'm praying God will help our broken hearts align
And we won't give up the fight
It's going to take much more than promises this time
Only God can change our minds
Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete
Could we just be broken together
If you can bring your shattered dreams and I'll bring mine
Could healing still be spoken and save us
The only way we'll last forever is broken together
Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete
Could we just be broken together
If you can bring your shattered dreams and I'll bring mine
Could healing still be spoken and save us
The only way we'll last forever is broken together
