You tend to break things

We know you as the God who sustains
Who holds it all together
Who is three… in one
And that is how we would like to keep you
Unsplintered
Unfragmented
Whole
But you tend to break things
Nothing is safe in your hands
what we offer you, you break
What we hide from you, you take
What we cherish, you steal
For you would not have us live in the illusion
That what you want from us is wholeness
A people who have it all together
Unsplintered
Unfragmented
Whole
For in our wholeness we are scarce
And you have thousands to feed
So you come to us as one
Who breaks
And is broken
To be shattered into abundant life
And you invite us to be broken with you
So that our wounds heal
So that our scraps become meals
So that our hearts become homes
For you and for others
In truth we need you
You who sustains and debilitates
You who holds it all together and smashes it apart
You who is three… in one… in three
Because you tend to break things
Keep us in your hands, Sovereign Lord
Amen
