Life is like Stained Glass

Life is like stained glass,

We were made for a life in a Church.

We need to be broken and shaped,

And for the right picture to search.

We all have our own unique colours,

Made to be welded together.

God uses His iron to support us,

As He creates each majestic picture.

When we’re placed high up in His Church,

For the world and it’s people to see.

God’s light will be seen shining through us,

And they’ll know what they were created to be.

It’s only when we join together,

While maintaining our boundaries.

That we create a more beautiful sight,

Where we can feel safe with our injuries.

God knows where our beauty will shine,

He knows all the colours we’ll match.

Our stained glass is our wretched lives,

But there’s splendour in every scratch.

So allow your lives to be broken,

Yield to God’s shaping technique.

Let others see the beauty shining within,

As they encounter the son that they seek.
