Beautiful Disaster

You are the God of my broken disaster. You are the God of my here and my after

You were there in my before and you've planned my hereafter.
You are the God of my broken disaster

When my lamp was in pieces you shined down on me
When i walked away you followed after When freedom was replaced by shackles and chains
when the blacksmiths art I did claim
when the lamp that i held to my feet was a match and the choices i made added gasoline

you were there to extinguish the pain

You are the God of my broken disaster
you are the God of my here and my after

When hope wasn't visible from the valley I dug and the dreams that i carried had to be buried
when the years of tears threatened to drown me and the weight of my failures was pulling me under
when the face that looked back from the mirror wasn't mine and the words from my mouth were far from the vine

You carried my heart and called out my name

You are the God of my broken disaster. You are the God of my here and my after.

You picked up the pieces and put them together.
Repair isn't your style. Reinvention is so much better.
You created a masterpiece a one of a kind. Each tiny bit your love redefined.
You transformed my broken shards of pain.
You made every memory into my ministry.

You poured out your spirit and called me by name

you are the God of my here and my after. You are the God of my beautiful disaster.

no longer an orphan but a child i am called.
Once celebrated prodigal, now beloved and friend.
Made new by the blood and purposed for life
A veil has been lifted and your glory is reflected.
You set me free and i walk not by sight

come have your way, God, here tonight.

You are the god of my beautiful disaster. You are the God my here and my after.

Your plans for me are good. A future and a hope.
You've called me to pray lord your face i will seek.
The more i bow down the more you transform.
The face in the mirror isn't mine that I behold.
You're love will pour out and your mercies will flow.
Your grace more abundant than what i could want.

You are lighting the fire and fanning the flame

You are the God of my here and my after. You are the God of my beautiful disaster

You set me free and your name i will praise you have recreated my beautiful disaster.
