It seems evident from your description that you need to replace the LCD. You mentioned that the glass is cracked, so it would be advisable to go ahead and replace the digitizer at the same time. They can be replaced separately, but the procedure is the same for both, so you might as well while you're in there.
New LCD displays are still available for your phone; I saw at least a couple of examples on eBay. The bad news is while they're not expensive, you can buy a whole used phone of that same model for less than the cost of an LCD.
Entirely up to you; it would be great to keep something out of the landfill by repairing it, but at some point you have to balance the cost.
