Shattered

When my world around me was shattered,
I leaned upon you Lord.
When it all fell apart,
Your grace let me see the pieces.
When the anger ensued,
Your love quenched the flames.
When I stood broken,
You made me whole.

I cry to you Lord,
for you alone can comfort.
I lean on you Lord,
for you alone are the rock.
I reason with you Lord,
for you are gentle and just.
I kneel before you Lord,
for you are my King.

No matter what this life contains,
it is sufficient enough for me.
No matter what valley I find,
your grace carries me through.
No matter what is done to me,
your plan for me does not waver.
No matter what I have done,
your love triumphs all.

When the punches come swift,
you gird my soul with strength.
When the pain seems to endure,
you cover me with your protection.
When the path before me dims,
you shine all the more brighter.
When I stumble in my way,
you are there to lift me onto my feet.

Lord, to you I have said,
I love you and trust you,
with this life you have given me.
I love you and trust you,
with the plan you have for me.
I love you and trust you,
in all that you have done, for me.

For me, you died,
For you, I live.
