The Reason We Break

Sundered from within am I
As my soul is incomplete
I cannot describe the pain I feel
As I writhe beneath your feet

Why have you destroyed me
And all that I endeavor
Was this your goal, to rift my soul
My sentence is forever.

Looking up to You I see beyond
What mortal minds my hold
I see my hope, my truth, my love, my life
My redemption has been foretold

The blissful peace of air unbound
I sense in my ruined being
But I hasten to disbelieve
The frightening vision I’m seeing

I see my damaged soul as healed
Mended by your abounding grace
You have wiped my hands of blood
And dried my tear wrought face

You have done what could not be
By the power of Your hand
You have broken me to set me free
And now I understand.
