Only Jesus Can

Make What’s Broken, Beautiful

Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also given people a sense of who he is. But they can’t completely understand what God has done from beginning to end.

Only Jesus can

Take what’s broken

And make it

Beautiful,

Take an empty

Space

And fill it

With a deep

Abiding love.

~~~

Only Jesus

Bore the stripes

For us

Took on

A death sentence

In our name

Mocked, Ridiculed

And abused

They mocked

The king of

Kings.

Only Jesus

Walked on water

Parted the sea

Rose from

The dead

Bore the scars

For you

And me.

~~~

Only Jesus can

Take a broken world

And bring it together

With just a whisper

In the breeze

“Follow me.”

~~~

Only Jesus

Can

Change Humanity.
