Nothing Wasted ©2005 words and music
by Daniel Epp and Danny VanHofwegen

Every tear we cry
From loneliness and pain
Are stored in heaven’s reservoir
And there they will remain
Every tattered thread
From our unraveled dreams
Are woven with his love
Into a tapestry

How it works is always
A mystery to me
Everything has value
In God’s economy

(chorus ) There’s nothing wasted
Nothing wasted anymore
Everything will be redeemed
Everything restored
Even bitter things become beautiful
In the hands of the Lord
There’s nothing wasted anymore

The man who’s been released
From the bottle’s heavy chains
Now can help the one
Who wants to make a change
The woman who was robbed
And has found the grace to live
Now can reach the one
Too angry to forgive

So it always goes
In the family of the King
Through the scars of one
Another is redeemed
(repeat chorus)

Nothing wasted anymore
Nothing wasted
Nothing wasted anymore
Nothing wasted
