about

2 Corinthians 4:7 says 'But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.' This verse greatly encourages me as I do this music thing. I've never had any formal training, I haven't earned any degrees in music, my voice is getting better but it's nothing special, and I should be much better at guitar than I am for how long I've played! And yet, through all of these cracks and creases, my prayer is that He would shine through.

lyrics

We are broken but are not crushed
Confused but not despairing
For he has not forsaken us
Though His cross we’re bearing
Though outwardly we waste away
Inside we’re newer every day
In our weakness we know you shine
Through our brokenness all the time
We are jars of clay
Cracks and creases
Broken pieces
Treasure stored away
Shines the brighter
Through all the breaches
In this way, we are prepared
Though there’s pain in our story
But no earthly pain could e’er compare
To the eternal weight of glory
Now we see with faith
But we'll see you with our own eyes one day
So take these jars of clay
And hold on, shine on, through our songs
And all the words we say
