You Shine Through

You shine brighter when we’re broken

With our hearts stretched out upon the floor

In our weakness and our failure

You bring beauty to this world

From our broken hearts

We’re crying out

From our deepest scars

We’re singing out

Through the cracks in all of us

Through the fractures and our dust

You shine through

You shine through

In the darkness You’re the dawn

Blazing like the morning sun

You shine through

You shine through

No our sin will not define us

For Your cross it speaks the final word

Guilt and shame are now behind us

You are making us brand new
