Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] I thought I had the answers Thought I knew the way But the road I chose alone Led me farther every day [Verse 1] I was living by a compass That pointed where I pleased Doing what felt right to me Like that was all I’d need But pride’s a heavy burden For a man to try and hold And the life I built around me Started breaking in the cold [Pre-Chorus] There I was in the wreckage Of the plans I made alone [Chorus] Standing in the ruins of the life I tried to build Broken dreams and promises scattered on that hill Pieces of my heart slipping through my hands I was learning I was weaker than I’d ever understand Then I turned and saw Him standing with His arms open wide Said, “Son, give me the fragments you’ve been trying to hide” I laid them in His hands and He began again Turning shattered pieces into beauty made of gold within [Verse 2] He didn’t see the failure Or the man I used to be He saw something worth saving In the wreckage of me With mercy like a sunrise And love that never ends He took the scattered pieces And began to mend [Pre-Chorus] Where I saw a million mistakes He saw a masterpiece begin [Chorus] Standing in the ruins of the life I tried to build Broken dreams and promises scattered on that hill Pieces of my heart slipping through my hands I was learning I was weaker than I’d ever understand Then I turned and saw Him standing with His arms open wide Said, “Son, give me the fragments you’ve been trying to hide” I laid them in His hands and He began again Turning shattered pieces into beauty made of gold within [Bridge] Now every scar’s a brushstroke Every tear a shade of grace And the life I thought was ruined He restored and rearranged I don’t have to know tomorrow I just follow where He goes [Final Chorus] Now I walk in the light of a mercy I can’t earn With the family that He blessed me with beside me on this turn No more trying to be stronger than a man can be alone I just trust the hands of Jesus guiding every road What I thought was just a wreckage was the start of something new He took the broken pieces and made beauty shining through And the man I am today is living proof That God can make a masterpiece from broken pieces too [Outro] So if you’re standing in the wreckage With the pieces in your hands There’s a Savior still waiting To remake the shattered man.
