Story behind the song
My parents built a foundation on love that they thought would last - but the center wasn't Christ, it was "puppy love" for each other. They divorced when I was in middle school, and fortunately I was pretty well grounded in the Lord by then. But Jesus Christ is the One who can put our lives back together when our own plans and dreams fall apart underneath us. If your life is in need of being "put back together," I pray that you will look to the only One who can build a foundation to last forever.
Lyrics
There's a man she thought she knew
sleeping across the hall tonight
In a moment all she had was broken to pieces
She can hardly lift her head
to pull it together
She wonders how long she can fight
without knowing why
How can I put this life back together again
when the world that I built
washed away with the sand that I built on?
My foundation was something
I thought was the truth
but when night turned to day
I discovered it all came to nothing
it all came to nothing
She wonders what she's living for
if he doesn't love her anymore
she counted everything she had
and came out a debtor
she couldn't find someone to care
or even to notice
until she found the words that came
that came with a promise...
How can I put this life back together again
when the world that I built
washed away with the sand that I built on?
My foundation was something
I thought was the truth
but when night turned to day
I discovered it all came to nothing
it all came to nothing
But there is nothing new under the sun
there is nothing my God cannot finish
there is no battle He cannot win;
it doesn't matter how painful the pain is
He came to preach the good news to the poor
He came to bind up the broken and
set her free
She didn't have to ask anymore
How can I put this life back together again
when the world that I built
washed away with the sand that I built on?
Jesus Christ put her life back together again
When the world that she built
washed away with the sand that she built on
Her foundation is something
I know is the truth
and when night turns to day
all Your light will illuminate, glory!
How can I put this life back together again,
when the world that I built
washed away with the sand that I built on?
There is nothing new under the sun...
