Pieces By Meredith Andrews




It's a complex puzzle you call your lifeIt's an uphill climb, it's a constant fightAnd it wears you downFeeling like you're alone, like you don't belongAnd you won't be loved if you don't measure upAnd you wear your scarsLike they're who you are
Give Him your wounds, your bruised and broken piecesAll your questions, all your secretsYou don't have to hide who you areYou belong to someone greaterThan all your past mistakes and failuresRested who He isHe knows how to make your pieces fit
He's the light on the road when you're lost in the darkAnd He won't run away if you show your heartWants you to believe itYou can taste that freedom
You are completely knownYou are completely lovedThis is where you belongistakes and failuresRest in who He is
Lately, I've been just been thinking about how much I suck and I realize how self-absorbed I am whenever I dwell in my mistakes, but I just couldn't help it. But today at church, the pastor was talking about the greatness of His power and how able He is to save us from our sins. No sin is too sinful for Him to redeem because He is THAT powerful. Along with talking about the His power, the pastor also talked about finding security in our identities in Christ. We're going through the book of Ephesians, and the pastor always mentions in every service how Paul mentions a lot of times in that book "in Him." And it's just this "not about God's creation, but God the creator" theme that keeps coming up in Paul's messages and in my life. So yeah, I may be messed up and broken into pieces, but He can make something beautiful out of me (made of broken pieces). He can fit them together and create a different and better me because He's that smart, and that powerful. Because He is so able, I can rest in Him. I don't have to worry about putting myself back together, because I can't, but He can and He will. 
Also, this album is reallllly good, ten times better than Believer. Her messages are always God or cross-centered. Here are some of her other songs and the lyrics...plus she sings well! :P
