"Broken To Minister" lyrics - THE CLARK SISTERS

THE CLARK SISTERS
"Broken To Minister"
(Karen Clark-Sheard / Linwood Smith Jr. / Damien Sneed)

When people saw me
Did they see my pain inside
I often wonder
If they knew my thoughts
If they knew my fears
My insecurities

[Chorus:]
Well behind all the scars
And behind all the tears
I'm a vessel
God has called
I was bent but not broken
So I could minister to you

When people saw me (Ooh I wonder)
Did they see my pain inside (Did they see my pain inside)
I often wonder
If they knew my thoughts, (If they only knew)
If they knew my fears, (What I've been through)
My insecurities (Oooh)

[Chorus:]
Well behind all the scars (But behind all)
And behind all the tears (I'm not perfect)
I'm a vessel (I'm still a vessel)
God has called
I was bent but not broken (I'm not broken)
So I could minister to you (Ooh)

[Bridge:]
I was created to minister (Oh yes I was)
I was built for this (Ooh I was built for this)
I was created to minster (On this very day you were, you were built)
I was built for this (To come through for somebody else to be blessed
I was created to minister (You were created)
I was built for this (But you got to let them know)
I was created to minister (That if God brought you out, he can bring you out)

[Chorus:]
Well behind all the scars (But behind all the scars)
And behind all the tears (All of your crying is not in vain)
I'm a vessel
God has called
I was bent but not broken
So I could minister to you

Weapons may be formed
But the rocks cannot break (The weapons may be formed)
Me stones cannot shake
Me death cannot take (Death cannot take me)
He is omnipotent power
Built me to stand
Gave me strength to carry on (Because of his power)
Weapons may be formed (Weapons may be formed)
But the rocks cannot break (I don't care what the devil may send your way)
Me stones cannot shake
Me death cannot take (But he cannot hurt you)
He is omnipotent power
Built me to stand
Gave me strength to carry on

[Outro:]
Well behind all the scars (Behind all the scars)
And behind all the tears (Ooh)
I'm a vessel
God has called (I'm still a vessel)
It's because of what I'm made of (What I'm made of)
He created me to come through (He created me and you to come through
