We are the barriers, the obstacles,
the impediments, stumbling blocks
to relationship with God
naked and confused we live
Our sin the broken glass we fear to tread
But God is there, ready for our confession,
our true repentance, out of love,
casting off all these chains
we carry in life
Ready to love us
even in our brokenness
healing us all
making us whole
again and again
