the worn places visible

the worn places visible
where the glaze had chipped off
where the way had been rougher
I am a broken vessel
my body damaged
my spirit weighed down
by many tears

only by Jesus
able to hold water
my vessel empty
made worthy
my scars visible
cracks in my vessel
water would be leaking

but for Jesus
filling the gaps
mending the cracks in my spirit
the brokenness healed
my sins forgiven
yes, the scars remain,
but I am redeemed
