even a broken vessel can hold water

we want to be perfect,

but we are broken

we want to serve,

but we know we are unworthy

if we think of ourselves

forgetting the light

the Spirit within us

not focusing on Christ

sinking in the waters

even a broken vessel

can hold water

God can transform

even someone like you

someone like me

Christ makes us worthy

cleaned of our stain, our brokenness

we are forgiven, redeemed

through the blood of the cross
