- I listened to this song last night and it really hit me. this is for anybody who has been abused in any way. I hope this video reaches out to all kinds of girls. even if they haven't been abused, if you ever felt like you were worthless or ever been told you'd never amount up to anything, i pray God opens your eyes and you see how truly special you are and how important you are. you ARE worthy. you ARE special. you ARE forgiven. and nothing will ever change that. God loves you so much and He'll always be there for you no matter what. He is the most loving Father and He will fill any empty hole you have in your heart. He loves you and He wants to heal you from the inside out. let Him in and see the beauty He can bring out of ashes.
- Hudba
I was broken at the age of ten. There is hope for all of us. Until I found the Lord my life was a mess. Nice and clean on the outside but a mess on the inside. Now my life is flurshing through Jesus Christ. Find a good church where you fit in. Get involved in bible studys, ourtreach programs and missions. Nothing will fill your void but Jesus Christ. You are worthy-we are worthy. All the glory and honor is yours father, amen!
There is only one absolute in this world and that is God. God is limitless so He can give himself wholesomely to each of us and not just a piece. God loves us; Accept Him into your heart and allow Him to heal your wounds. Remember that God is always besides us and the lowest points of our lives is when He carries us! Amen! Praise Him always
I went to Matthew West Presentation Concert for this CD. I was a NEW Christian. I need him and his songs/verses/words. I pull him up and listen to every song from that CD on UTUBE when ever I need some reassurance. Read the Bible, New Testament. I am 53 yrs old and never read it all before, I was somehow "blindfolded" and did not understand.... I do now. Thank U JESUS! He will save all no matter what if you take the time to read and pray that you are receptive to The Word. God Bless All.
No we don't have to stay broken, not any of us, men, boys, women, girls, God is there all the time, loving us, guiding us, waiting for us to call on him. He will heal, he has proven it over and over again, all we have to do is accept what he can do. If you're out there seeking, searching for answers, call out to Jesus, he will hear you and he will answer.
Beautiful song!!! To all the girls that feel worthless and broken inside just know that there is a God who loves you just the way you are. God bless every girl in the world!!!
I was depressed.I was cuttin.I was pushing God away.I was pushing my family away.I was pushing everyone away.I was a broken girl.Then one day I remembered how it felt 2 b loved by sum1.I loved the feeling.So I wondered how it wuld feel 2 be loved FOREVER I gave Truth a 2nd chance&I didnt stay that broken girl.Now I sing in my church band.I hav a wonderful boyfriend tht helps me remember 2 read God's word everyday&love me. God blessed me&forgave me&4 tht Im thankful 2 no longer b the broken girl.
when he says "now words like innocence don't mean a thing" it sends a shiver down my back .. so true
I am the broken girl he wrote this song for - the scars are deep but God's love and grace is so much deeper
It doesn't matter where you come from, every girl is in some way the "Broken Girl". Some more than others. This song is amazing. I hope every broken girl can hear this and realize they don't have to stay that way. That there is someone who loves them for who they are no matter what they've done.
Ever since I discovered this song I have to listen to it every day. I too, wish I could have heard this song as a young child. There are so many broken girls, and it's a constant struggle to overcome our grief. What was done to us does not define who we are. We are perfect in Christ. Being broken open brought me to Him, He was all I had.
Beautiful song...it touched my heart deeply because although I'm 49 now,I've been a "broken girl" far too long. Praise God for directing me to these powerful lyrics...my healing is further enabled. God Bless You All.
I'm healed by Jesus Christ!!! Praises to GOD for his grace and glory to the name...!!!:)
I understand this song very much. My father abused me as a young girl. I was forced to grow up much too fast. By the time I was in 4th grade I was cooking for myself while My mother tried to keep a roof over my head. My father no where to be seen. I thank God for everyday I have, because I know that had my father not done what he did to me I would have never found the friends who saved me from a broken road
This Song describes me. I was the Broken Girl until God came into my heart.
I may not be a girl, but I've had my share... more than my share... of brokenness. I've never been able to rid myself of the anger, the hatred, the feelings of worthlessness, the tears, the fear... none of it. Even with songs like this, I look at my past, my feelings, and I wonder... Why would God want to save me? Surely others deserve it more!
This song hit my heart, it's for those teenage girls like me who had a Love of betrayal, that ended bad because of his own selfishness, wants and desires. I was a young girl who was forced to grow up with the shame and blame he bestowed on me so I looked bad, and he comes up smelling like a rose. But JESUS took my shame, and painful memories, and restored my love💘 and life to become a child of royalty to the King 👑 of kings.
I look at all these comments and I think "wow, I didn't know so many girls went through the same thing as me." I just barely discovered this song today and I praise GOD that HE was there with me during those times. I hope more songs like this come out because it took me a long time to realize that I didn't have to stay broken.... that JESUS truly loved me and could set me free.
Regardless if you're religious or not, this song is amazing. True power comes from within. Not from anywhere else.
Omgoshh!! Everytime i hear this i cry cuz i feel all alone in this world but i heard God "Im here with you my babygirl....I will heal your heart".....(Thnk you to Belinda for showingg me this song
This really is a great song for a lot of reasons. Thank you Matthew West. I cried when I heard it. God continues to heal me for the shame I feel from being abused when I was little. It was not my fault but as an adult I still feel shame. It affected every area of my life. Thank you for this song what a blessing!!
i feel the same way
I can relate to this song. I was the little girl and there are times when she returns. It is a struggle but i know God loves me. It is his battle not ours. I have recently left a very bad relationship. He was an addict. So many broken dreams and disappointments. Yes i know it shall pass but I get tired of not having a true Christian man in my life. I know if God wants that for me and my daughter he will bring it. My daughter is a child with no father. He left at 3. God is our only father.
I have never found a song that has touched my heart so much! God is healing me, and I am so grateful he accepts me as I am.
I was one of those girls who was abused in every way you can imagine.He took my innocence and broke my will.I still live with it and while I know God was there and got me through it.I still have a hard time I have no self confidence always waiting for someone to hurt me.I was also bullied in school while being beaten and raped at home.I am 49 yrs old and am stil affected.
Thank You JESUS! For mending my Heart! Power and Glory to You JESUS !
im a survivor of domestic violence, homelessness, suicide god brought me thru all this I know I am worth to my lord and that's all I need I came from nothing lost my family kids and im still here because god gets me up every morning
listen i have been abused and still i still stand tall no one nothing can break listen god put you on earth for a reason he has a place for you so keep your head up and stand tall let nothing break you for life gets better trust me
When I first heard this song I turned off the radio I started crying. I'm broken and so lost. Some days I don't know what to do. I don't want to be so weak anymore.
I CAN RELATE MY CHILDHOOD LIFE......AT LEAST I AM STRONG ENOUGH THROUGH GOD'S GRACE...:)
I love this song. I have went through some junk in my life. It made me feel worthless and horrible. Even through the bad times, I was a Christian, but the devil was puling me away. But God was pulling me back harder. Thanks to God's grace and forgiveness, I am doing much better now. Still have temptations to go back into old habits sometimes, but with God's help, I am not giving in.
Matthew West really gets it. When I first heard this song, I was amazed and proud that someone really understood the brokenneess (i.e. damaged goods) a person who has been abused feels on a regular basis. Through prayer, counseling and a lot of grieving, you do heal. It never fully goes away, but it does get better!! God will get you through it.
I happened upon this song by accident. But I'm glad I did. I use to feel that way. Worthless. Not ever good enough. But I know that God has a plan for me and I'm trying my best to follow it. Sometimes we all feel this way, and it sucks that some people are the reason we feel this way. There are a few people in my life that are always trying to put me down..
I don't think God let's those things happen He just gives us free will, and we have to come to him, the devil is here too and he does the evil things, hang onto God, he will make great things happen for you, out of the bad.. My dad tortured me and my mom all the way to her death and tried to kill me many times, took my sanity, killed my spirit, my heart and soul.. but God built it back Better and stronger and wiser than ever.
Heard this song the first time today and can't stop crying hard. I'm from a family with domestic violence. One time I went to police station to ask for help, but they refused to help, instead they told me to blame the legal system and accept it. Last September my ex husband even abandoned me unexpectedly to move to another country. I lose hope for everything. I just wish I never existed. This song is really making me sad.
i love this song so much because it makes me think about how God changed my life around. i ues to feel like this song but now that God has taken over my life i am so much happier.
Even though many of my issues aren't as bad as other peoples I feel that our own problems no matter how big or small they seem to the world are main Issues in our life. When I listen to this song it reminds me that my problems shouldn't be taking out on my time with God or the ones who care about me. I pray for all of you and I wish that this song means something to you as it did for me:)
What an amazing song!
I am a leader in Celebrate Recovery, and I also sing Chrstian recovery music at the gatherings. This is perfect for me and most of the women in CR! Most of us, no matter what our issue, have been abused or taken advantage of as children or young women.
i was randomly listening to music on youtube and this song pops up...i think God had me find this song for a reason. i was sexually abused when i was 11 and told no one until this past year...i'm now 16 soon to be 17...i'm very thankful for whoever made this video...this song has given me so much hope and strength
U have been pushed aside by the cold world but their is a love is out their that's greater than anyone else could ever give u I "was" a broken girl... I was beat I was hurt.... But it was time to stop being in so much pain having the heartache..., I came to God and this August will be a year I've been serving God YOU DON'T have to stay the broken girl... Your not worthless! And ur sure not a n failure.... Ur smart, beautiful, and have a lot of potential.... U wanna know why.... Because you were
this is not only for the girl but also for the boys who have been hurt,, it should say this is for the broken child! i know a few boys/men in my life who have been abused also.. god bless them all!!! help them to heal and learn to love them selves again! innocence lost is hard, i KNOW from personal experience!!!!
"Believing the truth about who you are in Christ destroys feelings of inferiority. Believing the truth about where you are in Christ destroys feelings of insecurity. Believing the truth about what you have in Christ destroys feelings of inadequacy."
I am sorry you are going through a hard time. I did the same for years. But in reading all these comments...they are good ones to remember and pull close to your heart. Dear Lord Jesus... today I raise up this precious child of God before you. I thank you for her presenc. Help her to remember that You created her and she is perfect in Your sight. Things that happened in her past do not define her. Surround her with Your loving hands and give her the peace that only You can give. Amen.
although I didn't go through any sort of abuse... but this song makes me feel sad and compassion for the lost!
I feel like a broken girl, i can tell that my parents enjoy my siblings more than me. Whenever i do good on a test they will give me little praise. But when my siblings do good they give them something. It's kind of like they don't care. I love this song, it reminds me that i have someone to run to. When they do this to me
This song seriously made me burst into tears. My dad made me grow up too fast and everything that this song says. I felt so worthless and unloved. I have a hard time trusting ANYONE still.. but thanks to God, this Broken Girl is still fighting :)
This song is soooo powerful! I was abused and I can't stop playing this song. I never, ever thought there would be a song that could fully grasp how I felt....this is it!! WoW!
the day I listened to this song , I cannot stop keep listening ..... it is so near for me .
my daughter and I are both broken girls, this vidio is a true tear jerker, he really gets it, that worthless feeling, those memories locking you in the past sooo true, , may our Heavenly father put us all back together!!!
Thank you SO much for this beautiful reminder that those of us who are broken don't have to stay that way and for the reminder of God's love!!! I stumbled over this video and have to admit that I cried because I haven't exactly let go of my past that pertains to this song, and I was ready to give up. It is a BEAUTIFUL reminder and you did an AMAZING job... thank you so much for posting this... you've saved another life tonight!!!
This song touched me so deeply. I have hit the repeat button several times. There is so much healing listening to this.
"Those damaged goods you see in your reflection
Love sees them differently, love sees perfection."
Beautiful!
I was broken by my own father, verbally, and sometimes physically abusive. This song makes me cry. I want to heal, but I'm tired of trying to put myself back together again every night, only to fall apart when he gets home from work tomorrow. I lay awake worrying about how far this will go. Now I only trust one person, who won't answer the phone. I hope my Real Father will step in, before it's too late, because things get worse every day. I know He's here, but I'm not sure what to do anymore.
At one point in my life I was a broken girl. That point of my life still isn't that far behind me, but I am free from my past and this song just keeps reminding me of that. Healing is possible, it just takes time, courage, strength, and plenty of faith.
I started crying when watching this. The images have a profound effect and compliment the song. It inspires hope that God can heal anyone.
Thank you so much for this song, Matthew West,,,and for making this video, moonlite...I was a broken girl myself,,,my father is a pastor on the outside but behind closed doors, he abused me sexually, physically and emotionally from the time I was 2 until I left home at 23 to marry and continue the cycle. :( But praise God, He has delivered me and healed my broken pieces! I now have a Christ-following husband and am estranged from my entire family--but God gave me HIS family in exchange!
I stumbled upon this song during a suicidal point in life. I was stressed out and constantly being emotionally abused. I discovered this song and read the info, and here's what I learned: you are BEAUTIFUL. Hurt will happen throughout life, but God's there to help bear the load. Give up your burdens, and He will take them away and carry them far away. Rescue from everything is possible, but no through suicide. Suicide is never the answer, because you won't always be a broken girl
God sent me to the right path to heal, HE also lead me to this song!
oh my.. all i can say is that i wish i had found this song sooner. i was the abused and was so trapped by the pain anger disgust hate-at myself and the abuser and unforgiveness-toward the abuser guilt-i felt like i should have been able to stop it. even at 8 years old!! GOD healed me and i am so free, i still cried during this song. PRAISE GOD FOR HE IS THE HEALER AND HE DRAWS NEAR TO THE BROKENHEARTED :) PRAISE HIM AND HIM ALONE !!!
I was a broken girl. I had let go for the simple reason if I hadn't he would still have control over me as a victom and I will not let the happen anymore. This is my life and it is what I make of it.
Karma is funny and ALWAYS comes around
I know what it feels like to be broken,abused,neglected, used, tormented but a few years ago I made the choice I can either be a victim or I can be victorious . Its in our hands dont be a victim thats what the devil wants for you stay there then you arent a threat to him. I had to forgive pretty much anyone that had caused me to feel the way I did and once I did that the freedom and the peace I had is indescribable ...my heart goes out to all of you who are or have been abused ...
What I love about this is, is even though I'm a non-Christian, the song still applies to me and that's wonderful. Very empowering whether you take it as it is OR from a religious aspect.
I cried when I listened this song. This song really touched me and made me feel loved. Thank you for putting it up.
I feel like a broken girl. It feels like they favor my siblings more than me. I can tell because whenever I do good on a test, They will give me little praise like they will say "good job" but when my siblings do good they give them something. They put our presents under the tree and they gave each of my sibling twice as many as what i got. I can't wait to get out of here.
I have felt the same way and someone should do something about it... maybe someone could get girls like that together from a school and have a teaching. Telling them that they are wothy and not worthless. I believe God will let that happen by His choosing. Thank you for this song and I hope more songs like this will come around. GOD BLESS!!!
Im a broken girl but i love god now thx u showed me that god,loves me
This is so touching. For every girl that's been broken because of abuse from men. Innocence tainted and made to carry guilt/shame for a long time. Only God can mend what was broken and make it new again!
This song is about my childhood trauma. someone told me I survived because JESUS was in my HEART I believe that is true and I am free
Its hard not to cry. I've never heard a song that described my life and how I feel as much as this one does
is a great video, thanks for making it :) was a broken girl who married an very abusive man and took 20 years before i got free--- God really can do anything ---
"You don't have to stay the broken girl"
You're right.....I don't
and I didn't (:
I was abused as a child, called worthless, pushed aside, unheard, depressed, suicidal.....But with with family, friends and faith...and a wonderful boyfriend.....I was finally able to understand that there's more to life than just surviving everyday
Broken heart and on my knees for every woman who has spent a lifetime trying to get over her wounds whether they're sexual, emotional, verbal, etc.
Thank you! This video was sent to me by a friend and high school classmate of mine who was abused this way. I pray for her and all of the victims of sexual abuse that God will make them whole again.
this song is so touching for anyone that has ever felt worthless
i listend to this song tonyte while i was alone, and it really spoke to me. i have always been told ill never amount to anything and that im not good enough. i know ill never have a working life but now i have hope. i have hope to have a happy life with god.
I cried when I heard this, it really touches me :( it's beautiful!
Oh my gosh i love this song every girl needs to hear this...
ALL WE WERE BOUGHT BY BLOOD, JESUS' BLOOD; FOR THAT ALL WE ARE PRINCESS OF OUR HOLY FATHER... WE ARE GOD'S DAUGHTERS. NEVER FORGET THIS :)
the world is a mirror of who you are. even though the troubles are there it is up to you whether or not to take it to heart. they say ignorance is bliss, but ignorance is also optional. if u smile the world smiles because it can always be worst, but then again it can always get better. if you are still living, it means that you're truly not broken yet, it just means that you've hit a curb and u just need to change out your tires and go on you way again. "its all how you look at it"
This song is really good.... it really hits home in my life... Im not a girl but it really is amazing
God presents you with challenges that you have to overcome, only when you overcome what is presented to you will you realise that each and every challenge defines you!
This is exactly how I feel right now.. My bf I geJess is what you'd call him showd me this song. He knows about my past abusive relationship and said this song could help me heal. I cried when I heard the song because it made me realize I deserve so much better than how my ex treated me. I was once told if you put your life in gods hands he will show you the way to happiness and love. I finally let him and even tho at times it doesn't seem like he's helping he is. This song is my theme song.
WoW love this!! Tears in my eyes while listening to this!!
I feel like a broken girl at times xx
This is the first time I've heard this song and I can't stop crying. I was abused as a child and ended up pregnant at the age of 12 by my father. Since leaving home at the age of 16(I'm now 28), I've been raped twice. I've struggled with eating disorders and cutting for many many years. I've attempted suicide multiple times. It's such a lonely place to be. I can only hope that one day I can be 'unbroken'.
I love this song. I remember being 5or6 and trying to figure out how to end my life. there was alot of abuse in my life. i begun to think i was worthless. i was on meds for many years. I got close to attempting to end my life many times but it was like i was in a trance and someone just slapped me to make me come out of it. after i realized how much Jeasus loved me i asked for help from him. i am no longer on meds(yes the psyc agreed)havent had to be on them for over5 yrs i thank him every day!
Those who are broken will be healed.
All of his song are just soooooo moving and touching!!!!!!
We need more songs like these. Ones that are uplifting and can help other people through tough times.
I keep coming back to this song because I can relate and it makes me feel better but I keep slipping farther and farther
I just heard this on the way home from work today. Wow....it was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you !!!!!
the way i see it... you do your best to give it all to God, you pray, and you do your best to kepping moving forward, in apositive direction, no matter how much it hurts. Even when you just want to collapse and cry (although, feel free. dont bottle it all up.) And you have faith. You have faith that God can carry you through, and that it wont always hurt this bad. Have faith. If you ever need to talk, im here for you.
You don't have to hurt anymore god is here for u and so is love don't think that it's ok for ANYONE to hurt you tell ...the world
Never heard a song that describes me as much as this one does....
I'm really glad I found this song. . .
i cry everytime i listen to this song. but it realtes to me so much. i need to be put back together again cuz i am a broken girl.
i feel so awefull....ive acsepted jesus and everything was SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO good...but now everything is messed up, im second guessing everything, i dont even know how to believe anymore...I WANT TO BE FOUND SO BAD!!!! BUT I DONT KNOW HOW ANYMORE!!!!! i dont know what to do!! WHY AM I LIKE THIS?!?!?!?
Thanks for posting this. I've struggled with a lot of things people still don't know. I was ashamed but God is rebuilding me & I thank him!
&& Ladies we were made for so much more there is a man who loves us more far beyond any man on earth could.
You are witnessing for God right now, amazing just like this song!
God has worked wonders for me, just wish he did not give me this huge heart.
This is me. Exactly me. I would write it all done, my life, but it would be more than one comment. But I've been pushed aside, torn down, lived a life of worries a girl should never have to face. And, right now, marks the day my life really fell to pieces. I'm only 18 and have been booted from so many houses I can't count, been kidnapped by my dad, had no food, no friends, and verbally and mentally abused. And now, at 18...I have no mother. I'm a broken girl.
Hey folks! Just wanted to stop by and say something. Some of you feel like he's saying to "Just get over it and let God heal' that's not it at all and if it were, I wouldn't have made this video if I hadn't been through this. This is his response to the many stories he got of rape/abuse and though he personally doesn't understand, he knows who our God is and can heal the broken. personally it helped me because it helped me realize that my past can be redeemed and my heart can heal, that my identity isn't in what happened to me and it's not in the harmful words that have been spoken over me. Don't get me wrong, I'm saying one day I decided to lay it all down and boom! I was free. No. It was a process. It IS a process, everyday and you know, some days it's like lights going off, revelation coming in and I feel so free and on top of the world but then there's others that I feel like it's day 1 again. Sometimes I'm totally in love with Jesus but then other days I scream at him. It's alright, he can take it, he Wants to take it. Through it all, I know I'm not alone, I know I'm loved even when I don't feel it, and I know that I can move forward. And to everyone who has been healed and set free, I rejoice with you. And to everyone who is struggling, hurting, in desperate need of hope, and feels like you'll never heal, there is hope, there is help, there is freedom and I encourage you, if you need help, seek it. Find someone, a counselor, pastor, friend, someone to help you through this process. We're not meant to go through it alone and darkness can't flee unless it's exposed.
I'm not here to argue or cause any problems. Some of you may agree, some of you may disagree, that's ok. All I'm for is encouragement and I love and am praying for you all. God bless and peace be with you
Alexandria K , thank you soooo much. I had to ask my friend why this was about and when she told me I realized y it felt like it applied to me so much. I even told my mom that and she agreed... I no it's been yrs since I was raped by my bio dad, forced to do awful things with my grandpa ( deep throat, almost rape), I was manipulated by my 1st bf to do 'stuff', and was molested in a park by a strange kid/ stranger. but I feel like I'm steal healing, but it's ok... cuz God is putting me back together again piece by piece and He loves me, He loves u, He loves us all. I hope any1 who went thro these things knows that ur not alone and God sees and hears u. God bless and peace to all.💖💖💖
Thank you, I needed this. I actually came across this song by accident.
songs like this make me cry because i've been called names by guys who supposedly cared about me, its been almost 3 years and it still affects me :/
I love the pictures you put with this video. It still brings tears to my eyes.
A few of my friends and I are performing this song for our schools Anti- Violence Initiative Day (AVID), and I hope they see the love and healing of Christ through this song.
Thanks for making this video. :)
