92. Fragments

1 God gathers the fragments of broken lives
Lying scattered on highways of sin;
And none are too worthless, none too stained,
For the Savior to bring them in.

Refrain:
Fragments, just fragments,
But the dear Lord knows their worth,
And He gathers them up with a loving hand,
From the highways and byways of earth.

2 God gathers the fragments of broken hearts—
For was not His heart broken for you?
You may have forgotten through the years,
Or, it may be you never knew. [Refrain]

3 God gathers the fragments of broken prayers
Uttered faintly, with trembling and fear,
For none are so stumbling, none so faint
That His love will refuse to hear. [Refrain]
