When a Heart Breaks

When a Heart Breaks - Ben Rector

I woke up this morning
And I heard the news
I know the pain of a heartbreak
I don't have answers
And neither do you
I know the pain of a heartbreak

This isn't easy
This isn't clear
And you don't need Jesus
Til you're here
Then confusion and the doubts you had
Up and walk away
They walk away
When a heart breaks

I heard the doctor
But what did he say
I knew I was fine about this time yesterday
I don't need answers
I just need some peace
I just need someone who could help me get some sleep
Who could help me get some sleep

This isn't easy
This isn't clear
And you don't need Jesus
Til you're here
Then confusion and the doubts you had
Up and walk away
They walk away
When a heart breaks

This isn't easy
This isn't clear
And you don't need Jesus
Til you're here
Then confusion and the doubts you had
Up and walk away
They walk away
When a heart breaks


I heard this song several days after we discovered Grace was diagnosed with Anencephaly.  I hear the same song 10 months later and my heart still remains broken.

Lord, I ask you to please help mend this aching heart.  I beg you!  I would have never imagined this road I'm walking to be as difficult as it is.  It seems so dark and I feel so alone. I know You are the only One that can light my path and heal this broken heart.  Please bring it and me back to life.  I'm not the same..by a long shot. I know this song implies that people don't need you until they are experiencing heartache, but Lord we...I need You all the time.  I am so thankful for your faithfulness and unfailing love when I constantly hit rock bottom.  Continue to walk along side of me as I journey through this life with empty arms and heartache.  Lord, You are Enough for me and my heart desires more of You.  Help me to keep my eyes and heart fixed on You all the days of my life.
