On the Other Side of Broken
By Danan Benson

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.
