Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I grew up singing songs that told me
How every day with Jesus would be
Sweeter than the day before
The preacher said this is the gospel
God loves you
He's got wonderful plans for you
And every word he said was true
But the trouble with the truth
Is there's just so much that you and I
Will never understand
On this side of Heaven
So, what am I gonna do with
All these unfixables
All these not as they should be's
And not as they will be one day
I'm gonna trust You with
All these unfixables
Until the day
When I finally see a way
You make masterpieces out of these unfixables
The virus grows
The cancer spreads
We ride the waves of hope and dread
And drop our anchor deep again
In all that You have promised
Cause if what You said is really true
You're really making all things new
And working all things together
For our good and for Your glory
So, I'm gonna trust You with
All these unfixables
All these not as they should be's
And not as they will be one day
I'm gonna trust You with all these unfixables
Until the day
When You wipe the tears away
But for now
We're living between these ruins and the restoration
Waiting to see
The beauty that is sure gonna rise
I will believe the promise of Your resurrection
Your resurrection
Your resurrection
I'm gonna trust you with
All these unfixables
Knowing that nothing will be wasted
In the end
I'm gonna trust you with
All these unfixables
I know all these broken things are
Not as they will be one day
God, help me trust You with
All these unfixables
Until the day
When I finally see the way
You make masterpieces out of these unfixables
You're making all things new
You're making all things new
You're making all things new
You're making all things new
