Broken Tapestry
Oh how I wish…
If someone can knit back my tapestry in me
I will be in all my glee;
For it’s long overdue.
The fine lines are fading and the cords are fraying.
Heavier loads are weighing me down and I can’t seem to get back on track.
Yes, they are so heavy on my back,
I long for the day when I didn’t lack,
When all my tapestry was intact.
So time is fading,
The body is changing,
I am not the same I used to be.
Oh I could remember not so long ago,
When I was so fine-tuned;
I could play all day long.
Now the aches and pains flood my mind,
Keeping me back from the things I dream to do
I’m so tired now, can’t seem to hide it anymore.
Bended and broken,
Old and grey, worn and torn,
Is this body still on display;
Still moving on, still pressing on,
But holding on to the joy and peace
Of the hope that’s indwelling in me.
O Beautiful Saviour, what treasures in me,
Living in Jesus, your glory is seen,
You can use me, broken as can be,
Till I am finally set free!
