Vast Mosaic Heart

If I could see into your heart

How life has torn it all apart

The jagged pieces sharp and shattered

Would I care or would it matter?

If you could see the root of fear

That hides beneath my smooth veneer

The broken child in brave disguise

Would you still want to criticize?

If we could see beneath the skin

The scars inflicted deep within

Would we all be so quick to judge,

Assume the worst or hold a grudge?

Each human walking on this earth

Has hidden beauty, hidden worth

Yet unaware we pass them by

So blind and deaf to each soul’s cry

Please give us eyes so we can see

The hearts that ache to be set free

Please give us grace to share a song,

To bind a wound, to right a wrong.

Please help us hear the higher call

And learn to see God’s face in all

And know that each has their own part

In Creation’s Vast Mosaic Heart
