In His Golden Hands

[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.
