Thousand Pieces

from Athens by Ross Wright

/

lyrics

The hymnal is stained with tears
An empty row where she cried
She hasn’t been there for years, she tried
She came in looking for answers
To questions everybody asks
But she wasn’t one of them, left and never went back

I have to remind myself she’s out there
I have to remind myself she’s out there
And you are Lord of all

He walks concrete and dirt, scraping for a single bite
His next meal isn’t a sure thing tonight
He doesn’t think about his soul
He just wonders if he’ll live the month
God, what does it mean that he’s hungry and I’m not?

I have to remind myself she’s out there
I have to remind myself she’s out there
And you are Lord of all

Break my life into a thousand pieces
Break my will into a million parts
Take it all and make a picture of your heart

(You are Lord of all)
Tonight, be with the ones who need you
Grant me grace to reach for the ones I can reach to
(Lord of All)
Tonight, be with the ones who need you
Grant me grace to reach for the ones I can reach to

Break my life into a thousand pieces
Break my will into a million parts
Take it all and make a picture of your heart
