God can use the broken pieces
In an empty, wounded soul.
He can turn them into something
That is beautiful and whole.
...
How delicate the snowflake,
So intricately formed.
It quickly disappears from sight
The moment it is warmed.
...
When we come to You each day in prayer,
There is something we need to know:
Though we ask and believe with all our hearts,
Sometimes You have to say "no."
...
This story begins a long time ago
On a wintry January day,
With an event that would change the life of a girl
Only fifty-two miles away.
...
My heart makes its home in a faraway land,
Not seen with the human eye.
I enter that place when I start to pray,
Where my Lord is so very close by.
