All that was is ashes at my feet
All these questions steal the breath from me
If this pain I'm walking through is the kind of thing You use
Will You touch this heart that's breaking?
Come and catch these tears I've tasted
If they're in Your hands, I know they won't go wasted
Oh, they won't go wasted
This moment here and now is all I see
But You know everything that's yet to be
My story's Yours to write, bring beauty from this broken life
Will You touch this heart that's breaking?
Come and catch these tears I've tasted
If they're in Your hands, I know they won't go wasted
Bring Your healing to this aching, move in all the painful places
If they're in Your hands, I know they won't go wasted
They won't go wasted, they won't go wasted
If they're in Your hands, I know they won't go wasted
Things will never be the way they were before
But, Jesus, You redeem and You restore, oh
Will You touch this heart that's breaking?
Come and catch these tears I've tasted
If they're in Your hands, I know they won't go wasted
Bring Your healing to this aching, move in all the painful places
If they're in Your hands, I know they won't go wasted
They won't go wasted, they won't go wasted
If they're in Your hands, I know they won't go wasted
