Broken Things by Benita Jones: Song Review
Benita Jones is a gospel singer and worship leader who has been blessing the world with her powerful voice and heartfelt songs for over two decades. Her latest album, The Entreating, released in 2017, features a song that has touched many listeners with its message of hope and healing: Broken Things.
Broken Things is a live recording of a worship session that showcases Jones' vocal range and emotion. The song begins with a piano intro and Jones singing softly, "You are the potter, I am the clay / You put me together / You do Your best work with broken things". The lyrics are based on the biblical imagery of God as the potter who shapes and molds us according to His will (Isaiah 64:8).
The song then builds up to a chorus that declares God's power and grace to hold all our pieces together and restore what was broken in our lives. Jones sings with conviction, "You hold all my pieces together / Hallelujah, I surrender / My whole life in Your hands / You know what You're doing / Hallelujah, I surrender / My whole life in Your hands / I thought it was over / But You're the restorer".
The song continues with a bridge that expresses the personal testimonies of Jones and the worshipers who join her in singing. They place all their broken pieces, disappointments, failures, marriages, and children in God's hands, trusting that He sees them and says, "I'm Yours forever". The song ends with a powerful repetition of the chorus and the affirmation, "I thought it was over / But You're the restorer".
Broken Things is a song that speaks to anyone who has ever felt broken, hopeless, or unworthy. It reminds us that God is not done with us yet, and that He can make something beautiful out of our brokenness. It also challenges us to surrender our lives to Him and let Him do His best work in us.
If you are looking for a song that will inspire you to worship God and trust Him with your broken things, I highly recommend you listen to Benita Jones' Broken Things. You can watch the official live video on YouTube⁴ or stream the song on Spotify[^10^]. You can also find the lyrics and chords on Genius⁵ or SongSelect⁶. I hope this song will bless you as much as it has blessed me.
