Wrecking Ball

Just when my tears were falling deep enough to drown

Down in the valley of the shadow of a doubt

When I gave up that's when He came to lift me out and set me high

When I saw it as a gift of matchless worth

I started thinking it was something I deserved

He pulled the rug from underneath without a word and left me dry

Piece together these little mysteries

It isn't hard to see the writing on the wall

Triumph and tragedy, only God can be

Both the builder and the wrecking ball

He gave them freedom and a fertile promise land

They took for granted their deliverance at hand

Thirty-nine years later they're still walking through that sand

Wondering why

And He builds it up

And He knocks it down

Just to build it up even stronger
