lyrics by Lisa Phinney
Scattered pieces each day
releasing memories - they are who I am.
But you are keeping
my fear and seeing a sinking, trembling hand.
Jesus...I'm broken
Yet somehow invisibly present.
Jesus...Yes, broken
Trust that's been seared up with pain.
The truth is I'm your work, Lord.
The plan is all - holding in you.
The truth is completing with your fierce love
that keeps pushing true.
Jesus I'm broken
With a love that keeps reaching through.
