John 6:12
When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.”
2 Corinthians 4:8-12
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
lyrics
Let nothing be wasted,
Not a pain or a tear,
Not a wound of my heart,
Every lingering fear.
Shape the doubts of my soul
Into prayers You will hear,
Oh Lord, let nothing, nothing be wasted.
Let nothing be wasted,
Not a burden within,
When I face temptation
Every fight against sin.
Lord, I come to You now,
For the freedom You give.
Oh Lord, let nothing, nothing be wasted.
We are pressed but not crushed,
Persecuted, not abandoned.
Struck down but not destroyed.
Oh my soul, take heart,
In the trial, in the sorrow,
For He has overcome the world.
Let nothing be wasted,
The space in between
The waiting and answers,
Proof of what is not seen
Let my restless heart know
That You offer it peace,
Oh Lord, let nothing, nothing be wasted.
Oh Lord, let nothing, nothing be wasted.
Let nothing, nothing be wasted.
Let nothing be wasted.
