On the Other Side of Broken

By Danan Benson
April 22, 2002

On the other side of broken there’s a life that’s been repaired.

This life wasn’t handled by just anyone, but the One who truly cares.

Smashed and shattered until it could be recognized no more…

Who could have known what His mighty hand had in store?

 

On the other side of broken spiritual eyes can take flight.

Finally seeing meaning to the darkness of the night.

No longer stalked by the ferocious lions of despair…

This life, although broken, now soars on divine wings of holy air.

 

On the other side of broken much questioning will cease.

Not because of answers found, but because of His sweet peace.

Like the dew from the heavens will it shower your soul…

It’s here that you realize, He really has been in control.

 

On the other side of broken you accept your calling to become,

Not just one of the multitude, no, but a vessel carefully chosen, a peculiar one.

No longer can you reside on the shelf of the mundane…

You are now appointed with distinction, a precious valuable to be claimed.

 

So while you are on the anvil, being pounded away…

Or placed back within the heated oven to mold your soul to stay…

If only you can remember this one thing on that day: 

Your vessel is being chosen and on the other side of broken…

Will become priceless clay.
