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.
