BROKEN JARS

IN THE QUIET OF MY SPIRIT
THERE'S A WRESTLING DEEP INSIDE
BROKEN PIECES FROM THIS VESSEL
SHATTERED DREAMS AND WOUNDED PRIDE.

IN THE NIGHT OF MY CONFUSION
CHOICES MADE I DID NOT SEE
LED ME PAST THAT SWEET COMMUNION
WHERE GOD WANTED ME TO BE.

WAVES OF DOUBT THEN BLURRED MY VISION
WORLDLY CARES SOON DULLED MY SIGHT
SUDDENLY ITS WEB ENSLAVED ME
AS I TRIED TO TAKE MY FLIGHT.

THEN THE POTTER CALLED ME TO HIM
WITH MY BROKEN-SHATTERED PAST
TOOK THE VESSEL THAT HAD WANDERED
PROMISED FREEDOM THAT WOULD LAST!

FROM A HEART OF TRUE REPENTANCE
HEALING BATHED ME IN HIS BLOOD
LIVING WATERS FROM HIS FULLNESS
POURED THROUGH ME REDEEMING LOVE.

NOW IN JOYFUL, GLAD SURRENDER
LIFTING HOLY HANDS IN PRAISE
ALL I WANT AND HAVE IN JESUS
IS HIS PRESENCE ALL MY DAYS.
