our broken clay can hold light – v3

with God alone
our broken pieces are gathered;
the clay of our skin
becomes a vessel
 
our broken clay
can hold God’s promise;
we hold the Spirit
within our hearts
 
our broken clay
can hold light;
through Christ’s presence
we are called
 
we may be broken
shattered into a million pieces;
but we can shine God’s light
into the darkness
