The Pieces

 The Pieces 

I was broken in pieces by this world and didn't know what to do.

Trial upon trial came upon me until I was torn in two.

Piece from piece of my heart was torn away. 

Until I was alone on the floor and could only pray.

Have you been torn in pieces as well?

Well join me because I have good news to tell.

I will share how God put me back together again.

He loved and redeemed me from my life of sin.  

He didn't force me to go to Church or condemn.

He simply came into my heart and changed me within.

He took each piece and made it new every time.

Over the years I was changed by the creator of mankind.

I hung on so tightly to these pieces that I lost.

And He reminded me of the price He paid at the cross.

He lovingly took those pieces away.

And gave me a new life and new piece each day.

He created a new person with each new piece I received.

Until I soon looked upon Jesus and strongly believed.

The pieces that were broken I no longer desired.

A new person with a new heart has since transpired.

I was once broken in pieces with no hope at all.

But God put me back together and made me stand tall.

But I will only stay together by remaining in Him.

Without Him I may break in pieces again. 

Sometimes a piece of me falls off and brings pain.

Because the potter is still working and removing the stains.

But as He continues His work in my heart.

The joy within me is much more than the pain in the dark.

So my friend, are in you in pieces? Do you feel broken apart?

Call on Him, He will put back together each part.

However, He replaces the old with the new.

And gives a you a new life and new point of view.
