I am excited to announce the release of my song Pick Up The Pieces.
Have you ever felt like you were just done with life?
This song was written from the perspective of someone who is trying to get through life on their own. Day after day racking up more pain and trying to bury it and ignore it and white knuckle their way through life. They don't have the will to live, but they also don't want to die, something that is all too prominent in today's day and age.
They so desperately want to have hope in their life and no longer be the hardened shell of a person that they have become. So they decide to surrender to the One who has been with them the whole time, Jesus!
They begin to pick up the pieces of their life using Jesus as their strength to do so. They finally realize they cannot do this life alone and that Jesus is truly their only hope not only for their life on this earth, but more importantly, their eternity!
Lyrics
Holding just a little
Turns into a lot
I’m caught in the middle
Barely holding on
They all say I’m lost and alone
They all say I’m lost and alone
So I pick up the pieces
Hold onto Jesus
Because I don’t wanna live a lie
Pick up the pieces
Hold onto Jesus
Because I don’t want to live or die
I don’t want to live or die
Give me something to believe in
Like I’ve never known
Sanctify my life of regret
Break my heart of stone
They all say I’m lost and alone
They all say I’m lost and alone
So I pick up the pieces
Hold onto Jesus
Because I don’t wanna live a lie
Pick up the pieces
Hold onto Jesus
Because I don’t want to live or die
I don’t want to live or die
I don’t want to live or die
I have tried to do this alone
Now I know you’re my only hope
To pick up the pieces
Hold onto Jesus
Because I don’t wanna live a lie
Pick up the pieces
Hold onto Jesus
Because I don’t want to live or die
Pick up the pieces
Hold onto Jesus
Because I don’t wanna live a lie
Pick up the pieces
Hold onto Jesus
Because I don’t want to live or die
I don’t want to live or die
I don’t want to live or die
(Pick up the pieces, pick up the…)
Pick up the pieces
Because you got a lot
Pick up the pieces
Give your live to God
