in the shattering, in the breaking


in the shattering, in the breaking
in the old thing dying, ending,
God can make new life, something better
if we let go of control, if we trust Him
if we turn our lives over to the Creator
to our Lord and Master

in the shattering, the breaking
when we give up our say,
our free will, if we give this over
to the One who has written
the whole story of our lives
each step, each decision
before we were even born

in the shattering, in the breaking,
the new can be revealed, created,
from the chaos, the shards,
that which others would throw out
God makes a new thing arise
like a phoenix from the ashes
