Through the Cracks, Light Shines

Verse 1

I saw an old wall, weathered and worn With chipped paint and mortar, where time had been born And in its deep lines, where struggle had etched A wildflower bloomed, a lesson it fetched

Verse 2

We try to hide scars, pretend we're complete Wishing for pathways perfectly neat But life leaves its marks on heart and on soul Leaving us cracked to make us feel whole

Chorus

Oh, but life finds its way through the cracks that we bear Not a flaw but an opening for grace to declare Where we feel most broken, a strength can arise A new understanding, reflecting in eyes God is close to the hurting, His presence we find Shining through darkness, leaving no one behind

Bridge

It's not for the pain that we're grateful today But for what grows through it along the hard way An unexpected path, a wisdom revealed Empathy deepening, a spirit annealed Perhaps in those moments when defenses are down Our truest selves emerge without a false crown Connecting with others, unbridled, raw, and real Allowing imperfection to graciously heal

Chorus

Oh, life finds its way through the cracks that we bear Not a flaw but an opening for grace to declare Where we feel most broken, a strength can arise A new understanding, reflecting in eyes God is close to the hurting, His presence we find Shining through darkness, leaving no one behind

Verse 3

We don't seek the hardships, nor welcome the sting But when the walls crumble, what beauty can spring From fractured foundations, a clearer light site Revealing His goodness in radiant light

Chorus

Yes, life finds its way through the cracks that we bear Not a flaw but an opening for grace to declare Where we feel most broken, a strength can arise A new understanding, reflecting in eyes God is close to the hurting, His presence we find Shining through darkness, leaving no one behind
