David Meece, circa 1993, a gorgeous melody, to boot.
Meece is one of my favorite Christian singers, not only because he’s an extraordinary pianist and tremendous songwriter, but also because he gets it.
He grew up with an alcoholic father who crippled his self-worth and confidence, and that sense of sadness and abandonment permeates many of his best songs.
He doesn’t try to halleluiah away the hurt. And yet he ultimately always writes, knowing that, as Spurgeon said, “The eternal arms shall be lower than you are.”
“Brokenness”
In my brokenness
In my hour of darkness
I will lift my hands and worship you
In my brokenness
In my time of sadness
I will lift my voice and praise to you
Time stands still
as I kneel down before you
Life draws near
like waves upon the shore, you touch me
In my brokenness
In these whispering shadows
I will lift the pieces of my heart to you
