Kaleidoscope

When I am shattered you hold strong, Lord;

Cast a light upon my broken bits.

Amid the sharp edges of my pain,

You reflect the beauty of my shards

——————————————–

Look beyond my jagged fragments, Lord.

Hold me steady while I rebuild.

I will make my new beginning

Now the broken pieces are reformed. 

———————————————

Hurts were borne and wounds sustained

But in this weakness I claim strength.

Unafraid to bleed beside me,

You brave my raging, burning form. 

———————————————

I am a kaleidoscope of color

From what was once only cracked glass.

Held aloft in your light, Lord

I can change my circumstance.

——————————————————

I am not broken but am beautiful;

Remade with every twist and turn.

I am artwork forged from fire and breath;

Held by hands that reflect a greater truth.
