When all energy is drained from my body,
when my bones creak and crack
and my body has no strength;
I put my trust in You.
I trust that You will use me for Your glory.

Father, use me when I don't feel usable.

All you require is my faithfulness and trust,
then you restore me.

Lord, use me when I don't feel usable.

When I'm broken down and life isn't perfect,
use me even then.
When my flaws and scars are evident to all,
use me especially then.

King, use me when I don't feel usable.

When my heart is broken, and I reject you;
even then use me to bring glory to Your kingdom.

Savior, use me when I don't feel usable.

He was caught in the heat
Like a moth to a flame
Blinded as the fire starts to play
His heart survived long to decay

Here, I’m too small to be seen
Too thin a voice to be heard
Staring at his back still turned
While he bleeds for love that he never earned

I scream...
Come close I’ll see you heal
I’d drink your tear
I’d lick your wound
I’d **** the poison out your soul

I scream...
Come use me as she used you
Forget my name as I keep you
Paint me gone
As I paint your sun

Come use me as she breaks you
Drop me and break me too
Twist my bones
Like you twist my mind

It’s all I’m always wanting
It’s all I’m ever gonna get

Come use me as she burns you
Burn me,
I’d still love you
To the sweet boy who can't get a read on me:

I'm sorry.

I will use you up and leave you dry...
and I think you would like to use me up too.

The problem with that is,
there's so very little left of me to use up.

So kiss me,
and try not to see the tears,
try not to taste the bitterness,
and I promise I won’t tell you his name.
