my cracks are evident – v3

I am a broken vessel
my body is damaged
my spirit is weighed down
by many tears.
only by Jesus
am I able to hold water
when my vessel is empty.

I am made worthy
though my scars are visible
I have cracks in my vessel
water would be leaking;
but for Jesus
filling the gaps,
my sins are forgiven.

The scars still remain,
my past is still written
my clay is cracked,
but I am redeemed
