Do not dread
the broken heart,
the broken dreams
for Christ is close
to those
with broken seams
Emmanuel mends us
By His mercy, God weaves
our broken shells
and by His touch,
abundance swells
like seeds,
that once were scattered
on the ground
God’s own blood poured down,
was splattered on the ground
to show how much we matter
He suffered for us
to restore us, renew us,
redeem us, transform us
Pour your tears
in the palms
of His nail-scarred hands
for Jesus, wept
He understands
Share in His suffering
and know
the power of His love
and His life
that flows
through our broken shards
God makes art
‘A Mosaic of Grace’
it is called
