Broken Pieces

I sought the Lord with tearful eyes I brought to Him my earnest cries I sang to Him a sombre psalm My deepest fears He gently calmed “You know the desires of my heart You know I cannot bear to part With a dear friend who stood by me In distress and difficulty” Our conflicts have been aplenty I’ve tried to drown them in the sea The sea has overflowed; no ship Can salvage this broken friendship “My life is Yours, my very soul Take what is broken, make it whole The broken pieces in my hands Are fragments that I cannot mend” I don’t know what the future holds How things will be I am not told Though hopes are dangling from a rope It’s in Jesus I find true hope
