Gathering the Broken Pieces

Like those bones in the valley
My life was scattered all over
Each person that came in my life
cut a little piece of me and left with it

Each cut piece left a deep wound
And i was left in a pool of blood
Rotting in my own world
Dieing between thumbs like a tick  

Then he came
Found me in tatters of shame
Like garbage on the street
Piece after piece he picked me up

The Lord Jesus 
gathered me together
a pillar of rejected junk
He looked at my shy eyes and smiled 

That day his love started to heal me
wound after wound
pain after pain
And all the shame was gone

Then he brought you
To deal with this trauma 
He knew a mom was the best
He brought you to shine hope to a dark soul

God knew its you that would touch 
The scars and never create wounds again
He wanted me to know that with Him all things are possible
So he brought you mom 

Your love is pure
I have been drawn more to Christ 
And i know now
He has gathered all my scattered pieces
