in the light – v2

in the light
I am bare, naked,
all of my cracks
my scar, reminders,
all visible, exposed

in the light I see them
my sins, my rebellion,
tattooed upon my flesh
not able to wash them
to cover my cracks

my clay yet broken
wanting to be a vessel
to hold living water
yet compromised, cracked
threads of evil remaining

in the light I see them
the threads remaining
the scar tissue, the hurt,
woven in the fabric
my body, my life

in the light
I am bare, naked
I am washed in the water
I am cleansed, I am clean
in the waters of Christ
