Clemmons, Riley - Broken Prayers Lyrics






I've been taught how to talk to You
Hold it together
Make the bad look better
Say all the words that I'm supposed to
Bow my head, say, "Amen"
Yeah, that'll do
Making every dead-end look like heaven
Like being okay is the way to reach You

But You're not afraid of all the things I feel
So why am I afraid of being real?

You want my tears, every messy word
Every scar and every fear
You want all I have
With no holding back
When I'm hurt, at my worst
You meet me there
'Cause You see the beauty
In my broken prayers!
In my broken prayers!

You don't care if it ain't poetry
'Cause all of my edges
They are a little rough
But that's all I got to bring

'Cause You're not afraid of all the things I feel
Don't have to hide the scars that still aren't healed

You want my tears, every messy word
Every scar and every fear
You want all I have
With no holding back
When I'm hurt, at my worst
You meet me there
'Cause You see the beauty
In my broken prayers!
In my broken prayers!

Mascara running down my face
Desperate cry in a dark place
You take me that way
All of me

You want my tears, every messy word
Every scar and every fear
You want all I have
With no holding back
When I'm hurt, at my worst
You meet me there
'Cause You see the beauty
In my broken prayers!
In my broken prayers!
In my broken prayers!
In my broken prayers!

My broken prayers

    Again just how you look!!! Why???? Cuz your not really even for God. 19 years old? Yeah me too. You’re just caring about yourself and your looks not God. You’re putting out such disappointment. Change your selfishness and then maybe I’d actually believe your in love with Jesus Christ.

    God see's everyone's brokenness. God created everyone for a reason, to live a life were we shouldn't care what people think about us. God made every living thing beautiful, no matter how far you run you will always have a place in Gods heart. Because home isn't on this Earth its in heaven with the person that made up. Cause Gods not afraid of all the thing we feel i don't have to hide the scares to know hes real. Are broken prayers

    I needed to hear this today because I am always scared to tell God my fears. I am trying to tell him everything I am feeling

  80. V.... I....

    Научиха ме как да говоря с теб 
    I've been taught how to talk to you 

    Задръжте го заедно, направете лошото по-добро 
    Hold it together, make the bad look better 

    Кажете всички думи, които трябва да направя 
    Say all the words that I'm supposed to 

    Поклони главата ми, да кажеш, "амин" 
    Bow my head, say, "amen" 

    Да, това ще свърши работа 
    Yeah, that'll do 

    Придаването на всеки мъртъв край изглежда като небе 
    Making every dead end look like heaven 

    Начинът, по който е добре, е начинът да се свържем с вас
    Like being okay is the way to reach you

    Но не се страхуваш от всички неща, които чувствам 
    But you're not afraid of all the things I feel 

    Тогава защо се страхувам да бъда реален?
    So why am I afraid of being real?

    Искаш сълзите ми, всяка объркана дума 
    You want my tears, every messy word 

    Всеки белег и всеки страх 
    Every scar and every fear 

    Искаш всичко, което имам 
    You want all I have 

    Без задържане 
    With no holding back 

    Когато съм наранен, в най-лошото 
    When I'm hurt, at my worst 

    Срещаш ме там 
    You meet me there 

    Защото виждаш красотата 
    'Cause you see the beauty 

    В счупените си молитви 
    In my broken prayers 

    В счупените си молитви
    In my broken prayers

    Не ти пука, ако не е поезия 
    You don't care if it ain't poetry 

    Защото всичките ми ръбове 
    'Cause all of my edges 

    Те са малко груби 
    They're a little rough 

    Но това е всичко, което трябва да донеса
    But that's all I got to bring

    Защото не се страхуваш от всичко, което чувствам 
    'Cause you're not afraid of all the things I feel 

    Не трябва да скривате белезите, които все още не са излекувани
    Don't have to hide the scars that still aren't healed

    Искаш сълзите ми, всяка объркана дума (да) 
    You want my tears, every messy word (yeah) 

    Всеки белег и всеки страх 
    Every scar and every fear 

    Искаш всичко, което имам 
    You want all I have 

    Без задържане 
    With no holding back 

    Когато съм наранен, в най-лошото 
    When I'm hurt, at my worst 

    Срещаш ме там 
    You meet me there 

    Защото виждаш красотата 
    'Cause You see the beauty 

    В счупените си молитви 
    In my broken prayers 

    В счупените си молитви
    In my broken prayers

    С лицето ми се спуска маскара 
    Mascara running down my face 

    Отчаян вик на тъмно място 
    Desperate cry in a dark place 

    Вземете ме по този начин 
    You take me that way 

    Всичко от мен
    All of me

    Искаш сълзите ми, всяка объркана дума 
    You want my tears, every messy word 

    Всеки белег и всеки страх 
    Every scar and every fear 

    Искаш всичко, което имам 
    You want all I have 

    Без задържане 
    With no holding back 

    Когато съм наранен, в най-лошото 
    When I'm hurt, at my worst 

    Срещаш ме там 
    You meet me there 

    Защото виждаш красотата 
    'Cause you see the beauty 

    В счупените си молитви 
    In my broken prayers 

    В счупените си молитви 
    In my broken prayers 

    В счупените си молитви
    In my broken prayers

    В счупените си молитви
    In my broken prayers

    Моите счупени молитви
    My broken prayers

    Thanks Riley stay blessed

    I actually like fighting for me more seems more like her natural voice which is amazing rather than this song seems she's trying to hard to impress young people, still a good song though. As far as the video goes though it's terrible, it's just her driving a mustang in the desert. It doesn't even look like they tried to get her mouth synced up to the words. This song is very powerful and inspiring, it deserves a much more compelling video though.

  92. S.... M....

    The Lord God does not ask us to be perfect. He asks us to come to Him with a humble and contrite heart SEEKING Him. Even those of us who walk in His Spirit fall down and sin but we come to Him in our BROKENNESS knowing how far we have fallen from HIS PERFECTION. We live in a broken world and we will continue to be broken, even in the midst of His Healing, until that day when we ALL finally get home. Never stop seeking, never stop knocking and never stop asking (in accordance to His Will) for it is when we are doing this that He sees us and hears us. God Bless.
