When all around is quaking,
And you feel your life is cracking,
When the hopes and dreams you've cherished
Lay crumbled in the sand,
When your heart, confused, is churning,
And you wonder where He's turning,
Through the tears and disappointments,
Though it's hard to understand,
God breaks a seed to grow a plant,
Breaks a cloud to bring the rain,
Breaks the waves to make the sea,
Breaks a shell to let a sparrow sing,
And to make a vessel for His plan
God lovingly breaks a man.
Lift up your eyes with singing,
And bow before your King,
He is not slack concerning
His promises to you;
Your Father will not leave you,
He never will forsake you,
Your tomorrow, though now uncertain,
Will be victory anew.
God breaks a seed to grow a plant,
Breaks a cloud to bring the rain,
Breaks the waves to make the sea,
Breaks a shell to let a sparrow sing,
And to make a vessel for His plan
God lovingly breaks a man.
For though we do not understand
All the ways of our Lord,
His Master plan is beautiful,
Keep trusting in His Word.
God breaks a seed to grow a plant,
Breaks a cloud to bring the rain,
Breaks the waves to make the sea,
Breaks a shell to let a sparrow sing,
And to make a vessel for His plan
God lovingly breaks a man.
