Life can seem pretty darned confusing sometimes. We all go through seasons of comfort and, quite often, many seasons of despair. This song was written at a time when my life seemed rather directionless and all I had to rely on was my faith in God and knowing He was in ultimate control...and, bottom line, that's all God really wants from us anyway.
Lyrics
Another day of working
The same as all the rest
You work the shift as promised
You said you’d do your best
The work is automatic
The fun has long been gone
Your efforts have diminished
You wonder what’s gone wrong…
It’s a jigsaw life
when pieces of your day
begin to look the same
It’s a jigsaw life
that never fits together
until we hand over
our lives to the Lord
You come home feeling weary
And face the family
Questioning your purpose
It’s just so hard to see
Searching for the answers
Always seem to fail
Trying on your own strength
But to no avail
It’s a jigsaw life
when pieces of your day
begin to look the same
It’s a jigsaw life
that never fits together
until we surrender
our lives to the Lord
But God, in all His mercy
Has given us a way
To fit our lives together
To strengthen us each day
Truth becomes so clear
When we pray each day
To see we have a good life
That never fades away
It’s a jigsaw life
but pieces of your day
can start new each day
It’s a jigsaw life
but God fits it together
when we surrender
our lives to the Lord
