[Verse 1] I’ve been wading through the blackwater, looking for a spark Trying to find a love that stays, but I’m casting in the dark Checked the bright-lighted dive bars, walked barefoot on the muddy river banks Every line I threw out came back empty, to be quite frank They say there’s fish in the water, but the gators bit 'em whole Left me stranded in the marshland with a broken pole and a heavy, broken soul. [Chorus] But the Lord draws close to the broken-hearted He don't leave us where the sorrow started! God doesn’t smile when His children bleed It pains His heart to see our desperate need Yeah, I'm in desperate need When we cry out in the dark, He don’t delay He rushes through the swamp, washes all our sins away He comforts, He heals, gives you a brand new start Yeah, He’s the only medicine for a broken bayou heart! [Verse 2] I spent too long looking low when I should’ve looked above Trading whiskey-soaked promises for an imitation kinda love The thick mud can drag you under, the shadows play a trick And the loneliness can make a little country girl feel sick But you can't hide a tear from the One who made the rain He knows the exact weight of a daughter’s hidden pain. [Chorus] ’Cause the Lord draws close to the broken-hearted He don't leave us where the sorrow started! God doesn’t smile when His children bleed It pains His heart to see our desperate need When we cry out in the dark, He don’t delay He rushes through the swamp, washes sins away He comforts, He heals, gives a brand new start Yeah, He’s the only medicine for a broken bayou heart! [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] He hears the midnight holler, He hears the quiet plea He doesn't want His children living on their knees It hurts Him just as much as it hurts you.... and me... So when the water rises, He pulls us from the deep! [Chorus] Yeah, the Lord draws close to the broken-hearted! He don't leave us where the sorrow started! God doesn’t smile when His children bleed It pains His heart to see our desperate need When we cry out in the dark, He don’t delay He rushes through the swamp, washes sins away He comforts, He heals, gets us back on our feet Yeah, His love is the victory, never defeat! [Outro] He helps us stand up... Back on our feet.
