Though we try to appear
As a vessel of one
We are broken glass
By the sin that was done
All imperfect pieces
Edges that are rough
Of no use or value
Just not good enough
Heavens a mosaic
Bound with love and grace
Vision of an artist
Each piece has its place
It’s so beautiful
Through the light divine
How so brilliantly
The broken glass shines
He took, blessed, and broke
Then He gave the bread
A miracle to all
Five thousand souls were fed
And for His last supper
Again, He took and blessed
He broke and He gave
His love to friends, professed
The chosen One was blessed
On His cross was broken
God incarnate, given
He is the Word spoken
Walking to Emmaus
With bread of which to share
Took, blessed, broke and gave
Our Lord to them appeared
And so, as His beloved
Through Him, spiritually
Chosen, blessed and broken
And given, let us be
Based upon words by Henri Nouwen
