All Together, Mike Donehey
No more playing Mr. Nice Guy
I’m done pretending
That I’m alright
I fake a laugh
Keep acting upper class
Like I’ve never had
A struggle in my whole life
Can I tell you
The state I’m in
Cracks are where
The light gets in
Maybe we don’t have to
Have it all together
What if grace made it safe
To tell you the truth
Maybe we can make
A shelter for each other
Turning lies into light
And we’ll make it through
All together, all together
Love keeps our
Broken pieces all together
I want a church that
Looks like twelve steps
Where all are
Honest and accepted
But it’s gonna take
Myself to cultivate
The kind of life that
Others haven’t seen yet
Do I dare tell you
The state I’m in
Cracks are where
The light gets in
Maybe we don’t have to
Have it all together
What if grace made it safe
To tell you the truth
Maybe we can make
A shelter for each other
Turning lies into light
And we’ll make it through
All together, all together
Love keeps our
Broken pieces all together
Am I the only one
Who struggles here and now
Am I the only one
Who wrestles with my doubt
And if I tell you all my secrets
Will you go running out
There’s only one way to find out
There’s only one way to find out
Maybe we don’t have to
Have it all together
What if grace made it safe
To tell you the truth
Maybe we can make
A shelter for each other
Turning lies into light
And we’ll make it through
All together, all together
Love keeps our
Broken pieces all together
All together, all together
Love brings our
Broken pieces all together
About Jenn: I’m a Christian wife to an amazing man (since 1998) and a stay-at-home-teaching mom to four special & incredible boys (born in 2004, 2005, 2007, & 2009). I’m messy and cluttered, but working on that (really, I am!). I’m a discouraged perfectionist and a classic procrastinator who probably has both ADD & Autism, so I tend to jump from topic to topic (and activity to activity) without notice. My Love Languages are Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch. I’m an INFP who enjoys friends but loves to be alone. I love getting and giving hugs, and encouragement is a Spiritual gift of mine that can too-easily be turned into the weapon of discouragement, if I’m not careful. I enjoy writing, singing, words, drawing, photography, digital creations, and reading. Oh, and pizza, tacos, and steak. Now I’m hungry. That reminds me; I eat gluten free and try to eat organic and avoid white sugar and GMOs as much as possible. I’ve very recently returned to the workforce (after 22 years!) as a teacher in a Christian childcare because I love Jesus and love little ones! I love it!
