Lyrics
Hands reaching out with no one to hold
You've been abandoned with no place to go
Wounded and wanting, such desperate times
Cold bitter tears are filling your eyes
Get a glimpse of Jesus for He is right there with you
He knows just what you need
Chorus
'Cause when life gets broken, when you're in despair
He'll carry your burden when it's too much to bear
It's down in the valley where He'll give you strength
And there is nothing you have lost that He can't replace
He'll help you start all over again
When life gets broken
You hoped God would heal it, but the storm raged and raged
Now it's hard to imagine how you'll make it through the day
Weeks turn to years, time's passing you by
But you're still holding on to the how's and the why's
So get a glimpse of Jesus for He is right there with you
He knows just what you need
Bridge
Healing waters heal our troubled souls
Jesus, sweet Jesus will cleanse and make us whole
Reflection
Broken seasons come quietly and unexpectedly — through loss, disappointment, unanswered prayers, or fatigue that settles deep in the soul. This song reminds us that God is not intimidated by the pieces of our lives. He does not look away from our pain. He gathers every shattered part with tenderness, knowing exactly where each piece belongs.
When life feels too heavy, the temptation is to hold everything together on our own. But the truth is: healing begins when we place the brokenness into His hands. God rebuilds slowly, gently, and faithfully — not always by putting life back the way it was, but by creating something stronger, deeper, and more beautiful than before.
If your heart feels fragile today, let this be a moment to breathe. Let the song become a prayer. Whisper your grief to Jesus, knowing He listens without judgment. Offer Him the pieces, and trust that His hands still make all things new.
