Piece by piece

Just another day in this life we have
But now we have more than ever before.
We see the problems that have always been there
But now they're things we can't ignore.

How do you put together a puzzle with missing pieces?
How do you mend a broken world?
We fall to our knees and cry out to Jesus
To please give us a miracle in this dark place.

So where are the missing pieces?
Where can we find them to bring them back?
Where are the souls who ran from their maker?
Where are the people under attack?

One falls away and hides in the darkness.
Another decides to live himself dead.
So many have turned away from this power
And have chosen a fake and hollow road ahead.

What are we to do?
A voice from Heaven cries to act.
But it seems when we try
We get pulled all the way back.

Stand with me now and watch the world crumble down.
Everything we ever knew.
The whole world around.
What is that light?
What is that sound?
It's the call of Jesus.
There's still more to be done.
All the missing pieces.
A battle to be one.

How do you put together a puzzle with missing pieces?
How do you open the eyes of the blind?
How do you fix what has been broken?
How can we be one in mind?

Crying out to Jesus is our only true hope at all.
Pieces will go missing.
People will fall.

I watch the world crumble down with those that I have left
And wonder what could be if we only took the steps
Toward what we know should be
and let Jesus handle the rest.
