I see you sitting over there with your head in your hands
And the mess life’s made of your best laid plans
You really want to shake your fist
But you don’t know who to blame
Well you can blame yourself or The Man upstairs
Or the guy on the screen who says he cares
But all the shame and the blame won’t change a thing
What’s done is done
But grace has just begun
And God’s says
I’m gonna turn it into something different
I’m gonna turn it into something good
I’m gonna take all the broken pieces
And make something beautiful like only I could
So put it all in the hands of the Father
Give it up, give it all over to
The only one who can turn it into
Something beautiful
Something really beautiful
We know the world got broke when it took the fall
And here we are living in the middle of it all
Longing, waiting for the day when everything’s restored
But the best of the beauty that we get to SEE
While we’re living down here in this “yet to be”
Is to watch God take the most broken things
And to hear Him say,
“When I get through, you’re gonna be amazed”
‘Cause I’m gonna turn it into something different
I’m gonna turn it into something good
I’m gonna take all the broken pieces
And make something beautiful like only I could
So put it all in the hands of the Father
Give it up, give it all over to
The only one who can turn it into
Something beautiful
Something beautiful
Something beautiful
Put all the pieces in His hands
And watch Him turn it into something beautiful
God’s gonna turn it into something different
He’s gonna turn it into something good
He’s gonna take all the broken pieces
And make something beautiful like only He could
So put it all in the hands of the Father
Give it up, give it all over to
The only one who can turn it into
Something beautiful
Something really beautiful
Something beautiful
Something really beautiful

When life becomes hard, we call out to God and trust in Him…or we turn our back on God. Steven Curtis Chapman lost his daughter to an accident several years ago. In working through his pain, God was able to give him this song. Steven was able to use this in his pain and grief, and give that away to others who are hurting.
Something Beautiful reminds us that hard times come into our lives. The way we walk through the trial determines how we come out on the other side of it. If we walk through it with our eyes on God, then it will not be so hard. That does not mean we will not walk through the emotions…we will. That is all part of the process. You see, we believers have a Hope. We have a Hope to see our loved ones when we get to heaven.

I pray this song blesses you as you listen to it. I pray that you are able to heal in ways you never would have imagined. I pray that you will seek Him for your healing. God does not want you to stay in one place. He wants you to go out and share your story. And never being ashamed of your past. Let your past go and share your story with others. You never know what sharing your story will do for others.
About Tina Marin
He truly is the ONLY One Who can make something beautiful from the broken and sad things in our lives and hearts! <3
Reminds me of a song Bill Gaither wrote years ago….”all I had to offer Him was brokeness and strife, but He made something beautiful of my life”. I cannot imagine what the Chapmans went thru when losing their daughter. They are a wonderful example of letting God use them thru their grief.
Thanks Tina, for this song and your words. Our pastor said this past Sunday that God is a God of process. He CAN and He WILL take our broken lives and make something beautiful–When we allow Him. So thankful for our Hope!
They have been an inspiration with how they handled their grief and pressed forward. God is good that way, in helping us through our pain, if we stop and let him.
