Oh, Lord, search my heart tonight.
I’m broken, but I’m still standing at the altar.
I gave my sweat, I gave my strength for this home
Building a future so she’d never feel alone
I worked the long nights, I labored through the rain
To provide for a life that would ease all her pain
But silence was waiting when I walked through the door
I didn't know that my house wasn't mine anymore
Yes Lord, it hurts, the truth cuts like a blade
Looking at the promises that we both made.
Oh, the foundation is shaking in the home that I built
I’m drowning in sorrow, I’m drowning in guilt
How could you leave when I gave you my best?
Now I’m laying this burden at the Savior’s chest
Hallelujah, please heal the man that I see
Even when heartbreak is all that’s left of me
Praise Him, I’m searching for a light in the dark
Trying to mend the pieces of a shattered heart.
I was out in the field, I was fighting the fight
While you were turning off the lamp in the night
I came back for love, I came back for peace
But the seeds of deception had found their release
It wasn't the distance, it wasn't the lack
It was the secret knives you put in my back
Oh, thank You Jesus, for keeping me sane
When every drop of my blood is heavy with pain.
Oh, the foundation is shaking in the home that I built
I’m drowning in sorrow, I’m drowning in guilt
How could you leave when I gave you my best?
Now I’m laying this burden at the Savior’s chest
Hallelujah, please heal the man that I see
Even when heartbreak is all that’s left of me
Praise Him, I’m searching for a light in the dark
Trying to mend the pieces of a shattered heart.
I regret the day I didn’t see the signs
I regret the way I ignored the lines
But I cannot stay in this valley of tears
I have to let go of the ghosts and the fears
Lord, take the anger, take the regret
Help me to forgive, help me to forget.
So I walk away now, but I walk with Your grace
I’m hiding my tears, I’m hiding my face
I worked for the family, I worked for the ring
But You are the only comfort that I can bring
Amen, to the love that I thought would remain
Amen, to the peace that follows the pain.
Oh, the foundation is shaking in the home that I built
I’m drowning in sorrow, I’m drowning in guilt
How could you leave when I gave you my best?
Now I’m laying this burden at the Savior’s chest
Hallelujah, please heal the man that I see
Even when heartbreak is all that’s left of me
Praise Him, I’m searching for a light in the dark
Trying to mend the pieces of a shattered heart.
I’m letting it go, Lord, into Your hands.
I’m just a man who tried to follow Your plans.
Glory to You, even in the loss.
I’m laying it all at the foot of the cross.
