THE BROKEN ONES


Maggie came home one day with a raggedy, raggedy ann
She said mama look what I've found in the neighbors garbage can
Had a missing left arm and a right button eye hanging by a thread
She carried it gently up to her room and laid it on her bed with her other dolls

She loves the broken ones, the ones that need a little patching up
She sees the diamond in the rough and makes it shine like new
It really doesn't take that much, a willing heart and a tender touch
If everybody loved like she does there'd be a lot less broken ones

20 years later in a shelter on 18th avenue
A 17 year old girl shows up all black and blue
Needle tracks in her left arm almost too weak to stand
She says I'm lost and I need help as Maggie takes her hand
And says come on in

She loves the broken ones, the ones that need a little patching up
She sees the diamond in the rough and makes it shine like new
It really doesn't take that much a willing heart and a tender touch
If everybody loved like she does there'd be a lot less broken ones

"Jesus said 'What you've done to the least of these my brethren
you've also done unto me"
If you called her an angel she'll be quick to say to you
Shes just doing what the one who died for her would do

Love the broken ones, the ones that need a little patching up
Sees the diamond in the rough and makes it shine like new
It really doesn't take that much a willing heart and a tender touch
If everybody loved like He does there'd be a lot less broken ones
If everybody loved like He does there'd be a lot less broken ones

I like this. Loving one another with God's eyes, and not our own physical eyes... seeing with our spiritual eyes a diamond in the rough... may we all seek to look at others through God's eyes...
