Devastated By Your Love

Words & Music: Dennis Jernigan

 

Verse One

I’ve been devastated by the words of men

At times it seems like pain becomes my closest friend

And the real truth of the matter

What makes me even sadder is my sin – once again

 

Lord, so many disappointments I have known

If You’re so real why do I feel so all alone?

Weeds grow up in hidden places

Turning friendly faces into stone

Heart of stone

 

And then You take my heart and tear it all apart

And leave me helpless but not alone

Chorus

I’m devastated by Your love like a tree beneath the wind

Broken for the building of a cross before all men

The devastation of Your love is so hard to understand

That pain and perfect love could possibly go hand in hand

 

I’m not able But your are able

To bring forth life thru any suffering or loss

No, I’m not able but You are able

When I am shaken what’s left standing is Your cross

 

I’m devastated by Your love like a child, I need You near

To hold my hurting heart close to Your heart when I would fear

The devastation of Your love has left me broken once again

So faithful are the woundings of a Father

Faithful are the woundings of a Friend

 

Verse Two

My heart’s been conquered by a Kin and occupied

And this King now lives forever here inside

Born a King yet poor and lonely

A King yet He was only crucified. Jesus died.

 

Your love ravages my heart and leaves me bare

My heart laid waste. My heart left naked standing there

Lord, if suffering means winning, means death to flesh and sinning

Lead me there in Your care

 

So Father take my heart and tear it all apart

And leave me helpless but not alone

 

Chorus

I’m devastated by Your love like a tree beneath the wind

Broken for the building of a cross before all men

The devastation of Your love is so hard to understand

That pain and perfect love could possibly go hand in hand

 

I’m not able But your are able

To bring forth life thru any suffering or loss

No, I’m not able but You are able

When I am shaken what’s left standing is Your cross

 

I’m devastated by Your love like a child, I need You near

To hold my hurting heart close to Your heart when I would fear

The devastation of Your love has left me broken once again

So faithful are the woundings of a Father

Faithful are the woundings of a Friend
