shines through the cracks – v2

within the bushel, the clay, the vessel,
the basket of my body
through my broken clay, my flesh,
the light of God pours out;
God’s love shines through the cracks

the light of Jesus Christ
the hope of life within me
the Spirit of the Living God
these shine bright within me;
I cannot hide God’s love

through the cracks in my broken clay
not hidden deep within me
the light of Jesus Christ, our hope,
pours out through the cracks;
God’s love shines through my brokenness
