Only God can see the good in broken things
Monday, May 15th, 2006The world has no use for broken things. But thankfully God does, and He not only uses broken people, but he can do what no one else can do. Bethany Dillon reminds us of that in a song from her latest album…
The same sun that rises over castles
and welcomes the day
Spills over buildings into the streets
where orphans play
And only You can see the good in broken things
You took my heart of stone and made it home
And set this prisoner free
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever’s in front of me
Help me to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever’s in front of me
I’ll choose to sing hallelujah
Bethany Dillon - ‘Hallelujah‘ 
What a journey writing this was. We call it “the Job song.” I love his story—his character of heart actually inspired much of it. I long to have the peace he had in the middle of loss and feeling abandoned by God. I think that’s why it’s so powerful for me to remind myself of God’s sovereign-goodness when a fallen world is standing right in front of me. - Bethany Dillon
