"Maggie came home one day, with a ragged, Raggedy Ann,
She said, " Momma look what I found in the neighbors garbage can."
Had a missing left arm and her eye 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 would be a lot less broken ones.
20 years later in a shelter on 18th avenue,
a 17 year old little girl shows up all black and blue,
needle tracks in her left arm, almost too weak to stand.
She says "I'm lost and need help" as Maggie takes
Her hand, and says come on in.
If you call her an angel she will be quick to say to you,
She’s just doing what the One who died for her would do.
Love the broken ones, the ones that need a little patching up
see the diamond in the rough, and make 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 would be a lot less broken ones."
Do you know how it feels?
"Do you know how it feels to know somethings missing and hear a still small voice that you just keep dismissing?
Do you know how it feels to be troubled inside and to think just for you on the cross someone died?
Do you know how it feels when He knocks to surrender, have your sins washed away never to be remembered?
And know that it's real?
Tell me,
Do you know how it feels?
Do you know how it feels when your cold heart has melted and tears started flowing the moment you felt it?
Do you know how it feels to know you've been changed and it seems that your whole world has been rearranged?
Do you know how it feels whenever you roam?
You still get that feeling....
you're not at home
Knowing heaven is real
Tell me,
Do you know how it feels?
Then,
How does it feel to know you're a child of the King?
Your Heavenly Father who owns everything
How does it feel to know you are loved by the one who created the stars up above?
How does it feel to know you're all right when you lay your head on your pillow each night?
When you know that it's real....it's so good to know how it feels!"
